PostgreSQL 14 Internals book – Part II
- freedomben 4y agoThis is really neat, I'm excited for parts III to V! Thanks for making a downloadable pdf available. From the "For Whom Is This Book?" > This book is for those who will not settle for a black-box approach when work- ing with a database. If you are eager to learn, prefer not to take expert advice for granted, and would like to figure out everything yourself, follow along. The formatting is really great and makes reading and understanding much easier. The graphics are super helpful as well. I haven't read through it all yet, but I'm quite optimistic!
- nerdyadventurer 4y agoHow is this different from https://www.interdb.jp/pg/index.html https://www.interdb.jp/pg/index.html?

- ketralnis 4y agoDoes anyone know if they plan to release it in print? I find that when I stock up on ebooks I never read them but the heavy dead trees sitting on my desk seems to remind me more effectively
- neverartful 4y agoSame for me. I wish it weren't that way, but sadly it is.
- jjice 4y agoAgreed. I love the fact that so many create ebooks for free and I'd love to support them with a print copy. Print on demand through Amazon or Lulu would be perfect and (I assume) fairly easy to set up.
- aarondf 4y agoI've had success in getting stuff printed at our local Fedex Kinkos (or Fedex Office maybe?) I printed a few chapters of the MySQL docs recently: https://twitter.com/aarondfrancis/status/1545886078581751811 https://twitter.com/aarondfrancis/status/1545886078581751811. Spiral bound and everything!

- mistrial9 4y agoyes I do care -- that intelligent people in all language groups have access to source code
- lfittl 4y agoAgreed. It's clear that PostgresPro is profiting from this, and they have not taken a stance on Russia's war in Ukraine (I imagine they couldn't, given how much money they are to make in the now isolated Russian market). And if I've observed correctly, they've also quietly moved their supposed company headquarters to Gibraltar, and removed any clear mentions of the above cited Russian government contracts from their website.
- vbezhenar 4y agoFacebook pays taxes which helps American soldiers to kill innocent civilians. Many Israeli companies pay taxes to help criminal Israeli regime to kill innocent Palestinian civilians. Why are you so picky about Russian regime?
- Self-Perfection 4y agoIt is not just about the money or profit. Most of their employees are located in Russia. A great deal of them are experienced people who will not agree to relocate to another country. They cannot express anti war position and continue to exist. What should they do given these circumstances?
- ZeroCool2u 4y agoIs there an epub format available for download? That would be strongly preferable especially since there doesn't seem to be a way to buy a physical copy.
- racl101 4y agoIs there a MySQL version of this?
- nbaksalyar 4y agoYes, the O'Reilly book "Understanding MySQL Internals" [0] [0] https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/understanding-mysql-internals/0596009577/ https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/understanding-mysql-int...
- shishy 4y agoYay! Super excited for III - V as well. I know folks asked about a physical copy but going to echo the other comment about going to Kinkos and spiral bounding 'em!
- evnix 4y agoofftopic, does anyone know if there are plans to somehow not use pgbouncer like may be in postgres 15?
