Ask HN: What's the best book to get started with PostgreSQL?

12 pointsby chrisblackwell14 anni fa3 comments

I have some time off during the next couple of weeks where I would like to venture into PostreSQL. I have tried in the past, but gave up after hitting a few walls.

I find PostgreSQL does things a lot differently then mySQL, and I really need some help getting going. What resources (books and/or videos) would you recommend to get started?

First I'd hit the doc. http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/interactive/index.html

I also recommend the Tekpub videos on Postgres. http://tekpub.com/productions/pg
