PostgreSQL vs MySQL
The PostgreSQL Field Guide — book cover

Book · Published September 2025

The PostgreSQL Field Guide

The reference guide for new users.

The book I wished existed when I started with PostgreSQL — a short, hands-on field guide that gets a new user productive without burying them in pages of theory.

Each chapter pairs the minimum vocabulary you need with a practical example you can copy into psql. By the end you'll have opinions about indexes, a working mental model of transactions, and the confidence to read a query plan.
