Shameless plug Have you checked out our book? The 2nd edition covered PostgreSQL 9.2 - 9.4. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920052715.do We are working on the 3rd edition which is a bit fatter (probably will be about 50 pages fatter when we are done) than the 2nd edition. http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920052715.do The 3rd focuses on PostgreSQL 9.5-9.6 (and is in prerelease sale at moment). By the time of release, we'll probably have some PostgreSQL 10 content in there as well. It covers fancy SQL constructs and data types (both ANSI ones and ones unique to PostgreSQL), general administration, and writing stored functions with SQL, PLPGSQL and PL/V8. In the 3rd we are adding an additional PL/V8 example how to build a window function in PL/V8 (aka PL/JavaScript) Thanks, Regina -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
