Thanks for your response. Sometimes overall software architectures stay (mostly) unchanged for a long time, and so I figured that's possibly the case for Postgresql as well. But I didn't know, which is why I asked.
Kind regards,
Christian

Hi guys,
I'm starting to poke around the internals of Postgres. Does anyone know the extent to which Thomas Lockhart's book, "PostgresSQL Programmer's Guide" is accurate with respect to the current state of the code base?
Umm, that book was published in 2000, from what I can see on Amazon. Would you use a book published 13 years ago to educate yourself on, say, the Linux code base? 13 years is an eternity in this business.
