Thread: Getting Started!?
I am new to all things SQL (Also new to linux...) and have heard I should check out PostgreSQL. Any suggestions on where I can get some quick start material that will help me get the general idea of pgsql, how to set up etc.? I've got the software downloaded.... Just need to get started and don't want to learn everything the hard way!
Don't have any installation links on hand, but here's stuff I'd recommend looking at: http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/faq-english.html#1.10 Performance tuning stuff http://techdocs.postgresql.org/techdocs/pgsqldbtuning.php http://www.ca.postgresql.org/docs/momjian/hw_performance/ Also, although not necessarily postgres specific, you might want to check out the book An Introduction to Database Systems by CJ Date. It's a bit pricy though. -Bryan Encina > -----Original Message----- > From: pgsql-novice-owner@postgresql.org > [mailto:pgsql-novice-owner@postgresql.org]On Behalf Of Marjee Kangas > Sent: Thursday, March 13, 2003 7:50 AM > To: Pgsql-Novice > Subject: [NOVICE] Getting Started!? > > > I am new to all things SQL (Also new to linux...) and have > heard I should > check out PostgreSQL.

Date sent: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 09:49:53 -0600 Bruce Momijan's online book is a pretty good bet in my opinion http://www.postgresql.org/docs/aw_pgsql_book/index.html for setting up: http://techdocs.postgresql.org/ Good books are always good value: The practical sql handbook -Bowman/Emerson/Darnovsky Linux administration -Stevie Shah > I am new to all things SQL (Also new to linux...) and have heard I should > check out PostgreSQL.
