The book is poorly written, and defers to “go read the Postgres documentation” whenever it gets to any depth. I would extend that advice to just go read the documentation instead of this book.
One of the best books I've read on postgres,
if you think you know databases,
Maybe read that book.
This Art of PostgreSQL is a mixed bag. Its format resembles a patchwork of blog posts rather than a coherent text, and numerous links within are dead, undermining its utility. The book is also marred by grammatical errors and a lack of clear explanations, suggesting there wasn't any professional editing. While it offers a basic introduction to Postgres, it fails to instill confidence in its application, especially for developers concerned about scalability. There are definitely some gems inside that not everyone knows, but the way it's described and structured made an impression like “this books about everything and nothing in the same time”.
