Mastering PostgreSQL 15: Advanced techniques to build and manage scalable, reliable, and fault-tolerant database applications, 5th

Review

“This book is for the people involved in planning, designing, or developing applications and systems using databases. It’s not suitable for beginners. You should be familiar with SQL statements and relational databases, preferably PostgreSQL. PostgreSQL 15 includes many important features and enhancements, including the long-wished MERGE statement. This book comes with concise and comprehensible explanations for such new things.

This book also comes with many important topics related to PostgreSQL-specific features and remarks, including transactions, indexing, data types, statistics, query optimization, stored procedures, security, backup, recovery, replication, the use of extensions, and migration from other databases.

These topics include many specific examples and will be of great help to understand what PostgreSQL is and how it helps data management in your system or application. This book can be used as an in-depth tutorial.”
