Does anybody know either one of these books? PostgreSQL By Jeff Perkins Published by Prima Publishing ISBN: 0761524444 PosgreSQL programmer's guide by Thomas Lockhart Published by iUniverse.com ISBN: 0595149170 Can anybody give me his/her opinion on them? Any other suggestion for a good book on PostgreSQL's System Administration and/or programming?

I just got my copy of the programmers guide yesterday. It is a printed copy of the document of the same name available online. It is worth the money because you can read it in the bathroom, and because hopefully Thomas Lochart (sic) gets somemoney. I found myself being frustrated looking at a flashing screen when looking for information, but find a real bookto be easier to use. It is already a little out of date, but that is a fact of life with printed materials. Ian A.

I hope that this does not discourage any writers but at 1 kg it is the weight of a book and yes you can take it to the loo (english for bathroom, bog...). For reading e-books a tool to rotate the screen would be nice. The e-book reader for windows does it. I'll have to read the XFree docs to see if my neomagic card does this in X too. I will have Acrobat 5 in the next few days. If you are interested maybe it would be worth while to convert the .ps docs to e-book format? Off home - temperature is back up over 30° again so time for a beer or two.
