As allways ... it depends on what you need to know.

The documentation of PG is really good.
If you are allready a db guru then you should be happy with it.

As you are asking this question in the novice forum you might as well
never been working with an dbms at all.

Probaply you have some existing application that should store its data
with PG as backend where you personally wouldn't need to know much
besides of setting things up and making a backup now and then.

Maybe you expect something like MS-Access that has a powerfull frontend
or maybe you know what a rdbms is but want to learn SQL?

What will it be?
