Based on the sample chapter, the book looks pretty nifty, too.
I love their two suggestions near the end of that chapter:
1. Don't believe the documentation
In theory, the "non-marketing dependance" of PostgreSQL ought to
mean that the documentation is capable of being more honest, but
even so, it's an interesting approach ;-).
2. That security analysts implement their own client
The issue, which, to some degree, we see with psql, is that the
default clients somewhat "sanitize" requests. Sanity tends to be
a good thing, better than insanity :-), but it's hard to hit some
of the race conditions without the lack of sanitation...
I probably ought to do this some time; it would be a useful
learning experience...
