One of the programmers I work with is interested in migrating from Oracle to PostgreSQL as the backend for his applications.
Is there a PostgreSQL "beginners" guide available somewhere, which might help him understand setting up a test database on his Windows system? I may also be performing a 30-60 minute presentation to several of the developers as a "introduction" to PostgreSQL. Any suggestions on what I should cover in this presentation? Topics I've considered so far are the following: Designing databases with security in mind Creating your first PostgreSQL Database Understanding Roles and host-based authentication Understanding permissions Creating a table Writing procedures Please keep in mind my primary focus is database security, so if I've left out something a beginner should know that is glaringly obvious, be kind! I'm going to try not to include information such as configuring WAL or the error log, as I will be configuring these settings once PostgreSQL is installed. Thanks a lot!
