a qualified "probably". one of the things i'm going to do when
i actually write the review is make a quick pass over douglas
for a compare and contrast; i think that there's probably a
bit of concensus on this list among those who have read douglas
that it sets a pretty high standard.

i also like _Essential PostgreSQL_ a lot, and still use it quite
a bit, but it's getting somewhat long in the tooth. an 8.0 update
of that one would be rather nice to have. it's very much a reference
rather than a tutorial, though.
