<br><br> My next personal project will be learning postgresql. I am familiar<br>with Oracle SQL and PL/SQL as an end-user/programmer, but not as an<br>admin. I'm not a CS, but at work I do write some read-only queries.
<br>We've got MS-Access via ODBC as well, but once you get past the really<br>simple stuff, GUI "Query By Example" runs into a wall. To give an idea<br>of where I'm at, my "claims-to-fame" are...<br>
<br>
- cross-tabbing table(s) *WITHOUT A SELF-JOIN*. (!^%$#& umpteenth-<br> order normalized table)<br><br> - A hack for bypassing the PL/SQL 1-megabyte total output limit, and<br> the 255 bytes-per-line limit, for programs launched from the SQL
<br> command prompt.<br><br> - I managed to figure out how to SELECT ... BULK COLLECT INTO an<br> "INDEX BY" table. It's so easy once you see it done once.<br><br> Anyone aware of any "postgresql user groups" in the Toronto area?
<br>What are the best quick guides to getting started? I've installed it<br>but haven't fired it up yet. Are there any booby-traps to watch for?<br>E.g. ensure that it doesn't end up listening to external connections on
