Re: off topic PostgreSQL books / online training

Hi Malden,

Thanks for reverting, I will check this out.

Some of the applications being built don’t need many features and Organization is not inclined to spend on licence cost hence PostgreSQL, so I have learn it to be able to help teams better use the database.

Oracle is still much more capable and it's much easier to find programmers who know Oracle than programmers who know PostgreSQL. Unfortunately, no open source DB can adequately replace Oracle. There are other commercial databases, like DB2 and SQL Server, which can do that, but they are not free.
