Re: Books

I started with Postgresql (Korry and Susan Douglas). It's a simple
enough book to start with and gives more information about
Administration than some of the books that you have listed. It costs
$49.99 USD.

PostgreSQL Developer's Handbook - $99.95 Ewald Geschwinde ;Hans-Jurgen
Schoenig (This is a really good book if you are a developer)

Beginning Databases with PostgreSQL - $94.95 Richard Stones ;Neil
Matthew
(This is one book I would not recommend - Just a rehash of some of the
other books that are out there).

The prices that you have listed are downright scary. I don't know what
the conversion rate is but surely you can get some cheaper books from
amazon.com if that option is available to you 'Down Under'.

All,

I'm looking for a good book for an absolute PostgreSQL beginner. I have
used
MySQL a bit but have only gotten as far as installing PG.

The local book store only has a few titles:

PostgreSQL Developer's Handbook - $99.95 Ewald Geschwinde ;Hans-Jurgen
Schoenig

PostgreSQL Essential Reference - $84.95 Barry Stinson

Beginning Databases with PostgreSQL - $94.95 Richard Stones ;Neil
Matthew

PostgreSQL - $95.94 Bruce Momjian

Book Of Postgresql - $79.95 Robert Bernier

Any recommendations from this list would be appreciated

Cheers and thanks

Kim
