Hello Richard,
I hope that you are well. Having read both books would your recommendation be
to go with Korry Douglas' book ?
Cheers,
Aly.

does anybody have any recommendations which one to get ?
1) PostgreSQL by Korry Douglas (SAMS) http://www.samspublishing.com/title/0672327562
i like the first edition of Douglas very much, i presume that this second edition
will keep up the standard.
2) beginning Databases With Postgresql: From Novice To Professional, Second
Edition: From Novice To Professional (APress)

i just finished reading a review copy of this (review to follow somewhere or other
shortly), and on the whole, it's not bad. it is trying to cover a great deal of
material and so seems a little rushed at times, but it's a decent book with lots of
stuff in it.
both books cover PostgreSQL 8.0

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
