I have the digital copy of this book and it is great to quickly search and find an area you want to refresh or dive deeper into. Being able to copy and paste code as a starting point quickly too is great. As mainly a user of T-SQL, this book was easy to follow and get understand the benefits of PostgreSQL and the different syntax.Its comprehensive coverage, practical examples, and strong focus on security make it an indispensable resource for both beginners and experienced professionals. In addition to security, the book covers scalability, performance optimization, and best practices for managing PostgreSQL databases in production environments. Overall great book to have on hand.

I had the pleasure of reading "Learn PostgreSQL, 2nd Edition" by Packt written by Luca Ferrari and Enrico Pirozzi, which proved to be an enlightening deep dive into the world of PostgreSQL. This edition is particularly timely, given the enhancements introduced in PostgreSQL 16.Right from the outset, the book lays down a solid foundation, welcoming those new to PostgreSQL while also catering to seasoned database professionals by delving into more complex subjects such as advanced indexing, query optimization, and the use of sophisticated data types. The authors' expertise is evident in how they methodically address each topic, illustrating the robust capabilities of PostgreSQL.What sets this book apart is its relevance to modern development environments. It adeptly covers the integration of PostgreSQL with current DevOps practices, including containerization and the concept of treating databases as code - a critical aspect of contemporary database management.The practical approach of the book, with its clear, hands-on examples and case studies, makes it not just a book to read, but a workbook to experience. The exercises provided are well thought out, reinforcing the material covered and enhancing the reader's skill set.In conclusion, my reading of "Learn PostgreSQL, 2nd Edition" was both educational and enjoyable. The authors, Ferrari and Pirozzi, have accomplished the challenging task of creating a guide that is comprehensive yet digestible. This book has earned its place as a go-to resource for anyone aspiring to master PostgreSQL, from beginners to those with an advanced interest in database systems

I haven't worked with PostgreSQL much, so I was interested in diving into this book. The book gives a great overview of all things Postgre. Obviously there is only so much that can be covered without diving deep into each topic, but I think there was enough information in here to know how to work with PostgreSQL.
