I guess the point is that using older books is the only option, there simple are no uptodate books available. People who want to use a book (and many do) are forced to learn PgSQL the way it was a few years ago. >> regards, tom lane >> > The key here is that when it's up to you to > "connect the dots" then you learn what the dots are, how they relate to > each other, and what each of them is for. True, but that only works for experienced 'nerds' who get a kick out of connecting dots. Joe Average want's a bit more assistance, a bit more guidance. In short; I think PgSQL needs a beginnersbook, an advanced-nerdy book, and a bible... oh yeah, we need a PgSQL bible, no doubt! :) Cookbooks are also nice, but I guess from a growth point of view a beginnersbook is definately a must-have. ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 2: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
