Review: Will make you understand, not just use PostgreSQL - Excellent book. Very well written and pleasant to read. Provides a lot of details that help to actually understand what is going on in database. Every performance/optimization technique, configuration flag is explained in detail. First half of the book covers thinks like choosing hardware, processor, memory, disk, file system, RAID matrix ,etc. In spite of the fact that I am java programmer, not DB engineer I find this part interesting too; it is good to know how database does its job. Somewhat old (addresses postgreSQL 9.0 and older versions, we have 9.4 now), but I see no parts that are outdated. PostgreSQL have not changed that much (you may read release notes for 9.1-9.4) and basic principles (that are explained very well, in length and in great detail) are not to change anytime soon.
Review: great book - The chapter on query optimization alone was worth the price of the book. You need this book if you want to be a postgresql guru. Chock full of info from hardware benchmarking to server tuning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book
*by M***A on December 19, 2010*

This is an excellent book which summarizes all the ways of improving performance of the PostgreSQL database. I have more than 20 years of database experience, mostly Oracle, and almost as much Unix and Linux experience. Greg Smith showed a real out of the box thinking and explained the influence of things like the choice of file system to the database performance. An excellent book, a must have for a DBA and anybody interested in PostgreSQL.
