Hello! wers regarding a book proposal on
Regarding the book proposal on Postgres: I can tell you that the world
needs a Postgres book!
Specifically, I would like to see the following topics covered:
- table-inheritance: what does it mean, how does it work, examples
- regular expressions in queries: examples
- PL/pgSQL: thorough coverage and examples
- pg_options file: complete explanation of all options, and detailed
coverage of performance-tuning and troubleshooting
- creating and adding new types/operators/etc.
The most important things to remember are:
1) We do not need another SQL book, we need a PostgreSQL book
2) examples, examples, examples
Thanks!
B-)
