Has anyone here read a Postgres book that they liked? I should formalize my own knowledge more and make sure I'm not leaving any useful skills on the table.

Which books have good coverage of techniques, is enjoyable to read, and does a good job correlating techniques with scenarios? I realize the last one might be rare as a lot of books may just dump a description of features, which if that's what's available it's the standard par for tech books. But if a book that pulls off the last one, connecting more advanced features with solid usecases that has to take number 1.

Sorry. I'm not a database pro... I have it on my to-do list, but I haven't carved out the time to start learning it...

I just downloaded Postgres, I am in a learning cycle. Try asking Hacker News.

This is the sort of thing LLMs are great for; ask one to tell you what skills you might want to learn, ask it for any type of code or usage examples, let it critique your code, etc

Books can still be handy to force you to learn full coverage of something beyond what your current usage patterns force.
