Oh the Profundity

From J, because "a spankin' new MySQL book was released and amazon felt obliged to let me know":
The unexpected pleasure of reading books about databases is that they are often written by authors with highly organized minds.
"Oh the profundity!" she says. Je suis d'accord. Heh.

I just got Command Prompt, Inc.'s book "Practical PostgreSQL", published by O'Reilly for 6 bucks off of Amazon. Shipping cost as much 🙁
Good book, even though it covers an older version (7.1 v 7.3, though not THAT different)
I think it is interesting how there is like one or two books on PostgreSQL, and everyone and their mother writes a book for MySQL. I know MySQL is more popular, but I find PostgreSQL easier to work with and, as an ORDBMS, much more capable.
