From backup/restore operations to advanced topics such as replication, not only does this book cover general administration topics like security, monitoring, performance tuning, it covers best practices for database design giving new developers/admins to PostgreSQL a great reference if they are tasked with creating and/or maintaining a PostgreSQL database server.Personally coming from a SQL Server heavy background, this book eases you into how a PostgreSQL database operates and breaks down each component (eg. data files, log files, where everything is on the server PG is on and how to manage it!, etc) that you need to understand how things operation "under the hood" and how it operates in different environments like the cloud if you're not using your own infrastructure.To summarize, this book will break practical/crucial administration tasks you need to know into "How it works" and "How to do it" style demonstrations you can use in the real world. So if you are a new or existing PostgreSQL administrator or looking to learn PostgreSQL database administration, this is the perfect book!

I love the Cookbook way of working trough a problem to solution Getting Ready, How to do it thenThere’s more….Making bulk data changes using server-side procedures with transactions to dealing with large table and the use of table partitioning are great examples within the cookbook.I loved the section around dealing with JSON data types which is very common amongst a lot of systems and interchange and interactions.Security has always been high on my agenda for many years and it was great to see in the book a large section of recipes on granting access to prevention along with Auditing.The actual Database Administration section starts you off with writing a script using DDL to making view updatable and views so opens up more DBA tasks which is what the book is titled so glad to see it exploring scripting and undertaking activities.Some good pointers on monitoring and diagnosis of killing sessions and I/O statistics along with disk space and understanding slow queries and moving into maintenance tasks like maintaining indexes and fixing bloated tables.And closing off with backup and recovery which was good to see the logical and physical backup to the replication and upgrades great set of recipes to follow.

Gianni, Boriss, Jimmy, Vibhor and Simon created an updated version of their well known book. The PostgreSQL 11 cookbook held 175 recipes, the new version has over 180 recipes. Key new adds:- Trusted Postgres Architect - a new way to automate the setup of Postgres clusters using Ansible- CloudNativePG (CNPG) - the operator that automates management of Postgres clusters on Kubernetes- Innovative strategies for managing large tables with partitioning.- Connection pooling with pgBouncer, including techniques for running multiple PgBouncer instances on the same port.- New recipes are provided focusing on the use of the MERGE command and Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation, enhancing database efficiency and performance.- A comprehensive guidance on effectively utilizing JSON/JSONB data types and updated methodologies for implementing multi-tenancy in databases.There are many more additions and enhancements that make this a must-have book for Postgres administrators. Its a notable enhancement over the PostgreSQL 11 cookbook, which I reviewed a few years ago as part of this blog "A Review of 4 Top PostgreSQL Books".
