"PostgreSQL 9.0 High Performance" book now available

The first new book covering PostgreSQL 9.0, and the first title ever 
dedicated to performance issues with the database, is now available.  
"PostgreSQL 9.0 High Performance" by Greg Smith covers optimization and 
troubleshooting techniques gathered from years of work on high traffic 
PostgreSQL installations.  While it includes coverage of the latest 9.0 
techniques, it also includes a by-version performance feature listing 
going back to PostgreSQL 8.1, with features only available in later 
versions highlighted throughout the text.  It's equally suitable for 
trying to improve a current PostgreSQL installation, or to plan a new 
one using the PostgreSQL 9.0 features.

Downloads of the 468 page e-book text are available immediately from 
Packt Publishing.  Publication of the associated code samples and 
shipping of printed copies will follow soon.  A free sample chapter 
covering Database Hardware, including critical information about how to 
keep your database writes safe with various types of disks and 
controllers, is also available for download.

See http://www.2ndquadrant.com/books/ for information about purchasing 
this book, and the other upcoming PostgreSQL 9 title coming soon from 
2ndQuadrant and Packt, "PostgreSQL 9 Administration Cookbook" by Simon 
Riggs and Hannu Krosing.  Packt is currently running multiple specials 
for those who wish to purchase both books, or the combination of the 
print and e-book version of a single title.  Note that you have to be 
logged into an account on their site before some promotional codes will 
be applied to your shopping cart total.
