New PostgreSQL book on web site
Bruce Momjian <maillist@candle.pha.pa.us> — 1999-10-26T17:52:28Z
I am in the process of writing a book about PostgreSQL for Addison, Wesley to be published in 2000. The book is tentatively titled, "PostgreSQL: Introduction and Concepts." The book is on our web site now in HTML and PDF formats. It will be updated nightly as I continue writing the book. Go to: http://www.postgresql.org/docs Under documentation, you will see the entry "Published Book". >From http://www.postgresql.org, it is under Info Central/Documentation.

Bruce, Is this book to be available online *after* publication? Just curious as the FreeBSD guide is NOT due to copyright restrictions...and I view that as rather unfortunate. (It would be cool if Marc could include it on future PG cd's.) Anyway, looks good so far! Useless suggestion: I'd jazz up the title abit. Maybe the 'Official Guide to Programming (and Using) PostgreSQL'...after all your authoring this tome makes it official and that carries more weight than some fellow at Que writing a `Teach Yourself Postgres In 24 Hours'. (I like a bit of alliteration so the `Programming PostgreSQL' works for me. ;-) My two cents, Tom Good (Break a Leg!) ------- North Richmond Community Mental Health Center ------- Thomas Good MIS Coordinator Vital Signs: tomg@ { admin | q8 } .nrnet.org Phone: 718-354-5528 Fax: 718-354-5056 /* Member: Computer Professionals For Social Responsibility */ -

I can't imagine removing it after the book is published, though I have not specifically discussed that with the publisher. I said I would like to have it available on the web, and they said, "Sure, it helps book sales." I am CC'ing the publisher for a comment. > > Useless suggestion: > > I'd jazz up the title abit.

They pick the title, and they have chosen a muted, dignified one. The title is not final, so it may change. -- Bruce Momjian | http://www.op.net/~candle maillist@candle.pha.pa.us | (610) 853-3000 + If your life is a hard drive, | 830 Blythe Avenue + Christ can be your backup. | Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania 19026
