Guido, Funny you should mention that. Yes. Actually we contracted with them to build a cheatsheet for PostgreSQL as part of our shameless advertising for our upcoming Manning book "PostGIS in Action" -- http://www.manning.com/obe It will be called "PostgreSQL Essentials" and we are working on the first draft as we speak. Actually we are a little behind on our deadline but should be done with the first draft in about a week. It will be similar in flavor to MySQL Essentials and will also show case some PostgreSQL 8.4 features and of course instead of storage engines we'll have PL languages and snippets of each). http://refcardz.dzone.com/refcardz/essential-mysql Anyone interested in seeing the first draft when it comes out or being on the review team let us know. We submitted some suggested victims off the top of our head. Also I believe they are looking for sponsors for the cheatsheet, but we didn't want to announce request for sponsors until we have the first draft done. Sponsors I believe get a little advertising section on the last page, but given the apparent negativity on this list of anything sounding remotely like advertising (e.g the big EDB argument), I'm not even sure how to bring that topic up.

Ah, that explains why they contacted us (PGX). Given that sponsors get some number of printed cheatsheets, it might be worth sponsoring it as a community to have them as booth swag (for donation, of course). -- Josh Berkus PostgreSQL Experts Inc. www.pgexperts.com
Yap I was thinking the same thing -- would make good booth swag. I think they said they would offer hard copies for any community events. Not sure how many copies that is exactly. Sorry about not warning you before hand. I didn't realize people would be contacted before the first draft. Guess I should have guessed..
