Dear colleagues and friens of PostgreSQL, I am pleased to be able to indicate to you the fact that I finished my book "PostgreSQL". The planned release date for the book is November this year. The book represents a comprehensive work manual about PostgreSQL. It treats all topics, important for the user or the developer, beginning with the installation, over base and advanced functionalities, handling of transaction and administration up to programming with PostgreSQL. Server-side programming with PL/PGSQL, C and C++ as well as client-side programming with C, C++, Java and PHP are described in each case in detail in completely special sections. All topics are accompanied by detailed examples, which demonstrate the described functions in each case on the basis of a practical application. This enables the readers to reconstruct the represented functionalities. All individual examples are parts of a complex, constantly growing total example, so that the reader has a complete PostgreSQL based application at the end of the book, on which all in the book treated topics can be tried out. The book will be released by Addison Wesley Germany, and will be translated by Addison-Wesley Corp. USA. Therefore, it will be available in English language at short notice. The german version can be ordered at Amazon (Germany): http://www.amazon.de/exec/obidos/ASIN/3827318602/028-0467133-8704504 Best regards, Jens Hartwig ----------------------------------------------------- T-Systems Project Manager debis Systemhaus GEI GmbH Address: Eichhornstraße 3, 10785 Berlin Postal Address: 10785 Berlin Phone: (004930) 25 54-32 82 Fax: (004930) 25 54-31 87 Mobile: (0170) 167 26 48 E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Internet: http://www.t-systems.de ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster
