Beware, I have this book. It is indeed very well written in the tradition of O'Reilly books, but was published in January 2002 so it is very out of date. It covers up to v7.1.x. Postgresql has moved on a lot since then, just look at the changelog!
also, as much as i really like o'reilly books in general, i find the index in this one quite lacking.

(long story, not worth it) In its stead, you can search and read the entire book at our website below. And since the book was written for 7.1, we put up a simultaneous search of the book with the current official PostgreSQL techdocs. -- Best, Al Hulaton | Sr. Account Engineer | Command Prompt, Inc. 503.667.4564 | ahulaton@commandprompt.com Home of Mammoth Replicator for PostgreSQL Managed PostgreSQL, Linux services and consulting Read and Search O'Reilly's 'Practical PostgreSQL' at http://www.commandprompt.com
