Re: PostgreSQL Advocacy, Thoughts and Comments

Re: [GENERAL] PostgreSQL Advocacy, Thoughts and CommentsRegarding the
learning curve issue, maybe people can recommend their favorite books.  I
recommend "SQL Unleashed" (I forget the author), pub. Samms.  "SQL For
Smarties" also gets recommended often around here, but again, I don't know
the author (or in this case, even the publisher).  Maybe there are others
too that people can recommend.

As for the paper-- I think your title is good ("PostgreSQL - Ideal for any
application development"), and I will have to look at how to organize it.  I
wanted to cover the following topics:
1)  Different types of databases, and what is meant by Object Relational
2)  Enterprise-ready features (Views, Stored Proceedures, Subselects, etc.)
3)  RDBMS tasks and how these features fit in.

Perhaps a followup paper could be written as a basic treatise in database
design.

The other issues I am seing here involve finding a suitable venue for
publication.  Any suggestions here are welcome also.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers
