Welcome to the Instant PostgreSQL Starter . This book has been especially created to provide you with all the information that you need to get set up with PostgreSQL. You will learn the basics of PostgreSQL, get started with installing your first database, and discover some tips and tricks for using and running PostgreSQL.
This document contains the following sections:
So, what is PostgreSQL? finds out what PostgreSQL actually is, what you can do with it, and why it's the most advanced open-source relational database management system.
Installation will show you how to download and install PostgreSQL with the minimum fuss and then set it up so that you can use it as soon as possible. We will take a brief detour afterwards to discuss a few important settings and how they affect performance.
Quick start Creating your first table section will show you how to perform two of the core tasks of PostgreSQL; creating databases and users. Follow the steps to create your own database and administrator account, which will be the basis of most of your work in PostgreSQL.
Top 9 features you need to know about here you will learn how to perform six tasks with the most important features of PostgreSQL. By the end of this section you will be able to insert data and perform queries, examine database structure and size, backup and restore databases, import and export data to CSV, install extensions, and store unstructured data and passwords securely.
People and places you should get to know section provides you with many useful links to the project page and forums, as well as a number of helpful articles, tutorials, blogs, and the Twitter feeds of PostgreSQL super-contributors.
PostgreSQL is the premier open-source relational database. Long the underdog of the database world, its recent surge in popularity has come from users of other databases searching for a system with better reliability guarantees, better querying capabilities, more features, more predictable operation, or simply wanting something easier to learn, understand, and use. You will find PostgreSQL to be all of these things and more.
- Easy-to-use : PostgreSQL's SQL commands are consistent with each other and standard. The command-line tools all take the same arguments. The data types do not have silent truncation or other strange edge-case behavior. Surprises are rare and everything generalizes to other aspects of the system.
- Safe : PostgreSQL is fully transactional, including destructive structural changes. This means you can safely try anything within a transaction, even deleting data or changing table structures, secure in the knowledge that if you roll back the transaction every change you've made will be reverted. Easy backup and restore makes it trivial to clone a database across the network and experiment on a private database copy.
- Powerful : PostgreSQL supports many sophisticated data types out of the box, including JSON, XML, geometric objects, hierarchies, tags, and arrays. New data types and functions can be written in SQL, C, or many embedded procedural languages including Python, Perl, TCL, and others. Extensions add diverse capabilities quickly and easily, including full-text search, slow query monitoring, password encryption, and more.
