About this title

Synopsis:

Improving database performance requires an equal mix of understanding theoretical concepts and working through hands-on examples. You'll find both here. Many of the examples given will be immediately useful for monitoring and improving your PostgreSQL deployments, providing insight into hard-to-obtain information about your database. This book is aimed at intermediate to advanced database administrators using or planning to use PostgreSQL. Portions will also interest systems administrators looking to build or monitor a PostgreSQL installation, as well as developers interested in advanced database internals that impact application design.

Review:

I found the book to be well-written (always a plus when reading technical books) and felt it covered quite a bit of depth given its ambitious scope. Overall, it was an informative and enjoyable read. --David Christensen

This book is well written and very accurate, from what I can tell, a tribute both to the author and the highly competent reviewers. I doubt there is a single PostgreSQL user or developer who could not learn something useful from this book. --Andrew Dunstan
