I also like the php/postgresql book by Hans-Jurgen Schonig and Ewal Geschwinde. while there were quite a few typos due to it being translated from German, the writing style and organization is pretty good, and it's a good book for beginners as well as experienced developers. > I'm a bit embarrassed about the Windows "multiplatform" comment.

At my last job (a company now sliding quickly into a Windows only trap, sad, was a great company with a great unix shop before Lyle Lanley showed up) I ran a central PostgreSQL server and anyone who wanted their own database could have one. It ran on my own workstation, which had about 99.9% uptime without me really trying. And I never really noticed the load. Of course, my workstation was a 1.4 GHz Celeron with 512 Meg of RAM, so it wasn't puny by any standards. Til windows native support shows up in 7.5, you can always do that for a while.
