sql - Trying out PostgreSQL/Postgres ( I'm a common MySQL User ) - recommend any references, any gotchas? -
I'm not really looking for the original SQL Guide, but only for a few specific postgresql.
And I run my own server so that the latest version (8.2 I believe?) Is not a problem.
Important Things:
- If you can (as You are starting, and owning a server - you can) Use the latest release version (at this time 8.4)
- Make sure the autocavacum is running in postgresql.conf
- If you have problems - The fastest way to get help is usually the IRC network to join # postgresql on freenode.net and ask there
- There are some things Not that in MySQL, and PostgreSQL (no change for example) - usually if it is nothing in PostgreSQL good reason and / or action.
- Try to use the psql client You can feel better with PGDmin / PPPDDAM, but actually helping in finding psql while searching for help (especially on IRC).
- You may want to subscribe to one of the 2 postgrasskal planets (why not ask 2 of them :)):
- In subscribing to postgreski related lists too May be help - You can find their list in
