Could someone please recommend the best up to date 0 to confident Postgres book?
- samgranieri 6y agoIn all honesty, you don't need a book on postgres. They have excellent documentation on their site
- tuatoru 6y agoYou don't go from zero to mastery in one book. Three years minimum, double or triple that if you're doing other stuff as well. To start, Stepháne Faroult's SQL Success will give you a solid grounding in using RDBMSes as an application programmer. It's not Postgres specific, but the learning you need to do isn't tied to one vendor. But as sibling said, you'll be using the documentation as well. PostgreSQL has documentation that is nearly up to the standards that hardware engineers expect and rely on.
- tuatoru 6y agoAdding to the above, Schönig's Mastering PostgreSQL 11 will help you advance from intermediate to high-intermediate PostgreSQL programmer, as will Faroult's The Art of SQL. Karwin's SQL Antipatterns is useful supplementary reading also. I've looked through my kindle, and I wouldn't bother with much else.
- furstenheim 6y agoThis one was super useful for me https://www.amazon.es/PostgreSQL-High-Performance-Gregory-Smith/dp/184951030X https://www.amazon.es/PostgreSQL-High-Performance-Gregory-Sm... I think that they have a newer edition for postgres 10
- Spiritus 6y agoNot sure about “0” but https://theartofpostgresql.com https://theartofpostgresql.com is a good book.
