Introduction to PostgreSQL for the data professional
Ryan Booz & Grant Fritchey
While the documentation around PostgreSQL is detailed and technically rich, finding a simple, clear path to learning what it is, what it does, and how to use it can be challenging. This book seeks to help with that challenge.
From getting your first instance, or cluster, up and running, to backups, to server configurations, we cover all the basics of how to get started within PostgreSQL. You'll learn about processing languages, monitoring, indexes and more. Every chapter provides fundamental knowledge and guidance to quickly get you up and running in PostgreSQL.
