I would be interested in more information on these and any books that are or
may come available on Postgres. Please keep us posted.

yes? no?

Just to let you know, I have two books in the pipeline now.
The first is in the nature of a "Guide", to learn the PgSQL version
of sql,
and how to use it, from a non-technical pint of view. Basic
administration,
creating, modifying, updating, relationships, odbc+access.
A book for the learning and end-user environment. In progress now.
In the
Addison Wesley/T. Nelson style. Couple of months to get to print.

The second is the O'Reilly standard. In planning stage. Indepth -
technical.
If you have seen "Sendmail" by O'Reilly, you know what I mean. Much
longer
to get to print. Big project.

Bob
