i like the first edition of Douglas very much, i presume that this second 
edition
will keep up the standard.

i just finished reading a review copy of this (review to follow somewhere or 
other
shortly), and on the whole, it's not bad. it is trying to cover a great deal of
material and so seems a little rushed at times, but it's a decent book with 
lots of
stuff in it.

both books cover PostgreSQL 8.0

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
       choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
       match
