Other suggestions? It's the best thing in that vein that is available, and is rather good. The only thing that's *somewhat* comparable is _PostgreSQL_ by Korry Douglas & Susan Douglas, which, alas, is now 7 years old, and thus rather dated. It was the one reference that had substantive material on query planning, though that's likely somewhat less relevant to you. You should certainly take a look at Greg Smith's book. -- (reverse (concatenate 'string "moc.liamg" "@" "enworbbc")) http://linuxdatabases.info/info/finances.html "what would we do without C? we would have PASAL, BASI, OBOL, and Ommon Lisp." -- #Erik -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
