- jmount 11y agoYou can try Postgres "zero install" with Postgres.app for OSX, otherwise docker. http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2016/02/databases-in-containers/ http://www.win-vector.com/blog/2016/02/databases-in-containe...
- copperx 11y agoThank you! But I meant book, a PostgreSQL book; but somehow I didn't type that :(
- datawrangler 11y agoThe PostgreSQL manual [1] is pretty good IMO. Have you looked at that? [1] http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals http://www.postgresql.org/docs/manuals
- thejosh 11y agoThe PostresSQL manual & documentation are one of my favourite things about PostresSQL, especially when I was first starting out :).
- jeltz 11y agoHere are some books: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/books/ http://www.postgresql.org/docs/books/ I can't vouch for the quality of most, but I know that Schönig's books usually are good.
- jmount 11y agoIt isn't PostgreSQL, but I like "SQL for smarties."
- garyclarke27 11y agoI have read every book on Postgres, they are literaly all crap, boring, tedious and simplistic. On contrast, the on-line docs on the postgres web site, are superb, matching the very high quality of Postgres itself. It is possible to write interesting books with personality even for a dry topic such as Sql eg Itzik Ben-Gan for sql server for general sql Joe Celko opinionated but entertaining, Stephane Faroult one if the best ever sql books "The Art of SQL" , Use the Index luke is great - even Chris Date's academicy books are more interesting than any single postgres book which is a shame since Postgres is truly amazing application.
