Hackers Along with some other folks I am co-authoring a chapter on PostgreSQL in the next edition of "Database System Concepts" by Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan (http://db-book.com)
This is in the form of a "case study" and will follow the pattern in Chapters 25,26 and 27 (Part 8 in the Table of Contents available at the above URL) that deal with Oracle, DB2 and MS SQL Server respectively. There are three sections, though, that are non-engine specific: - Database Design and Querying Tools - Replication, Distribution and External Data - Database Administration Tools I'm at a loss as to how much we should focus on these sections. Do we use what's in GBorg ? Do the hackers have any suggestions ? There are 33 DBA tools and 19 Design tools in GBorg .. are there any specific tools that are "recommended" ? Suggestions appreciated .. -- Pip-pip Sailesh http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~sailesh ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
