<para>
This book covers topics that are of interest to a
<productname>PostgreSQL</> database administrator. This includes
installation of the software, set up and configuration of the
server, management of users and databases, and maintenance tasks.
Anyone who runs a <productname>PostgreSQL</> server, either for
personal use, but especially in production, should be familiar
with the topics covered in this book.
</para>
<para>
The information in this book is arranged approximately in the
order in which a new user should read it. But the chapters are
self-contained and can be read individually as desired. The
information in this book is presented in a narrative fashion in
topical units. Readers looking for a complete description of a
particular command should look into the &cite-reference;.
</para>
<para>
The first few chapters are written so that they can be understood
without prerequisite knowledge, so that new users who need to set
up their own server can begin their exploration with this book.
The rest of this book which is about tuning and management
presupposes that the reader is familiar with the general use of
the <productname>PostgreSQL</> database system. Readers are
encouraged to look at the &cite-tutorial; and the &cite-user; for
additional information.

How to keep track of all the trademarks? I'll try the strategy used at
www.qnx.com - thomas
--
--
There is no legal requirement to make trademark acknowledgements in
references to third party products that happen to have trademarked
names.
The exception would be if <productname>PostgreSQL</>
were to license a particular
trademark and the trademark holder makes this requirement (as in the
case of UNIX and Java).
What is not allowed, however, is to use a trademark name in a way that
could lead people to believe that they label <productname>PostgreSQL</> products.
E.g., "the <productname>PostgreSQL</> UNIX database system" would probably be illegal,
whereas "<productname>PostgreSQL</>, which runs on many UNIX computer systems" is
fine. This is independent of whether a trademark acknowledgement is
made.

Welcome to <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> Tutorial. The
following few chapters are intended to give a simple introduction
to <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, relational database
concepts, and the SQL language to those who are new to any one of
these aspects. We only assume some general knowledge about how to
use computers. No particular Unix or programming experience is
required. This part is mainly intended to give you a hands-on
experience with important aspects of the
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> system. It makes no attempt
to be a complete or thorough treatment of the topics it covers.

in <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>. We start with
describing the general syntax of <acronym>SQL</acronym>, then
explain how to create the structures to hold data, how to populate
the database, and how to query it. The middle part lists the
available data types and functions for use in
<acronym>SQL</acronym> data commands. The rest treats several
aspects that are important for tuning a database for optimal
performance.

The information in this part is arranged so that a novice user can
follow it start to end to gain a full understanding of the topics
without having to refer forward too many times. The chapters are

installation of the software, set up and configuration of the

<title>What's In This Book</title>
<para>
This book is for <productname>PostgreSQL</> application
programmers. It is divided into three parts.
</para>
<para>
The first part of this book describes the client programming
interfaces distributed with <productname>PostgreSQL</>. Each of
these chapters can be read independently. Note that there are
many other programming interfaces for client programs that are
distributed separately and contain their own documentation.
Readers of the first part should be familiar with using
<acronym>SQL</acronym> commands to manipulate and query the
database (see the &cite-user;) and of course with the programming
language that the interface uses.
</para>
<para>
The second part of this book is about extending the server
functionality with user-defined functions, data types, triggers,
etc. These are advanced topics which should probably be
approached only after all the other user documentation about
<productname>PostgreSQL</> has been understood.
</para>
<para>
The third part of this book described the available server-side
programming languages. This information is related to the second
part and is only useful to readers that have read at least the
first few chapters thereof.
</para>
<para>
This book covers <productname>PostgreSQL &version;</productname>
only. For information on other versions, please read the
documentation that accompanies that release.

<para>
Welcome to <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> and the
<citetitle>PostgreSQL Tutorial</citetitle>. The following few
chapters are intended to give a simple introduction to
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname>, relational database
concepts, and the SQL language to those who are new to any one of
these aspects. We only assume some general knowledge about how to
use computers. No particular Unix or programming experience is
required. This book is mainly intended to give you a hands-on
experience with important aspects of the
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> system. It makes no attempt
to be a complete or thorough treatment of the topics it covers.
</para>
<para>
After you have worked through this tutorial you might want to move
on to reading the &cite-user; to gain a more formal knowledge of
the SQL language, or the &cite-programmer; for information about
developing applications for <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.
Those who set up and manage their own server should also read the

describing the general syntax of <acronym>SQL</acronym>, then
explain how to create the structures to hold data, how to populate
