This book on PG 15 summarizes nicely but in detail the latest features right up front in Chapter 1, instead of spreading them out across subsequent chapters like previous year's books on the then current version.

The coverage of the new features of PG 15 is really great in this book. This is a good read to get a bit of depth on all of the essential topics in the PostgreSQL ecosystem. It really aimed at intermediate to advanced users. There is a lot of meat in here, but it assumes you already know a bit about PostgreSQL.

Mastering PostgreSQL 15Hans-Jurgen SchonigPackt PublishingPostgreSQL 15 is a considerable advancement, with many new nuances and features. Mastering PostgreSQL 15 by Hans-Jurgen Schonig is a handy guide for anyone exploring version 15. It starts with an overview of the changes from previous editions listing the deprecations, improvements, and new features.The second section is an overview of transactions and locking. The explanations of isolation levels and observing deadlocks should be essential reading for any DBA. The author covers vacuuming tables in a clear and concise way that covers the differences between VACCUM, VACUUM FULL, and using Auto Vacuum. This section alone is worth the price of the book.The third section covers the vast landscape of indexes. PostgreSQL has an abundance of options when it comes to indexes that can be confounding to novices. The book covers not only the types of indexes but also using fuzzy searching.The next sections cover advances in Structured Query Language, system statistics & log files, and query optimization. Each section offers detailed explanations and examples of the subject matter. These three topics may not be the most exciting topics but the reader will gain a thorough understanding of each. This is followed by a comprehensive chapter on writing stored procedures.Next comes a good briefing on securing PostgreSQL. This is not only coverage of securing the server but also how to secure data down to the row level. This chapter makes this book an excellent reference for any DBA or SRE working with PostgreSQL. This is followed by sections on backup and replication that are also extremely well written with plenty of excellent examples.The book ends with three sections on extensions, migrating to PostgreSQL, and troubleshooting. Once again the author masterfully covers these subjects with clear text and illustrative examples.If you are running PostgreSQL 15 or planning to, then you need to get a copy of this book. It is a great tool to learn about ‘15, the examples are clear, and the overall presentation is excellent. Sadly I doubt many readers will take the time to read from the front page to the back cover but will jump around to sections of interest. The book works well that way as the sections can stand by themselves. But the entire book makes an excellent learning tool no matter how you consume it.
