[ADMIN] Book recommendations

around databases, but never really 'in' them.  I could write SQL if I
had to, I set up my fair share of simple DBs that backed website
content management systems and the like. I also spent about a year a
university going through basic relational DB design and theory so I
have a fairly solid grounding in keying, indices, relationships etc.

All of my exposure to databases up until a few months ago was MySQL,
then SqlServer.  Now that I have a fairly serious postgresql
installation happening, I am finding myself fairly deep and looking at
non trivial issues like seriously playing with the explain analyze
command, working out the best configs and making sure the backups work
and are regular.

I have done this so far by reading a lot of the Postgres manual and
every website I can find, and the system is working quite well for
now.  But I want to take the next step.'

Books usually just recycle that information. PostgreSQL's manual is 
really good today. Add Greg Smith's PostgreSQL Performance Pitstop, a 
few other sites and you have everything you need.


If you like to learn more about SQL or database modeling, look for a 
book on these specific topics.

[ADMIN] permissions on inherited tables

2008-03-23 Thread sriram.dandapani
Is there a way to grant a permission on a table for a role and have that
cascade to the child tables ?

 

I have several high volume "daily" partitioned tables that get dropped
every week and every time I need to re-grant permission on the new
tables created.
