I. Tutorial
Welcome to the PostgreSQL Tutorial. The
following few chapters are intended to give a simple introduction
to PostgreSQL, relational database
concepts, and the SQL language to those who are new to any one of
these aspects. We only assume some general knowledge about how to
use computers. No particular Unix or programming experience is
required. This part is mainly intended to give you some hands-on
experience with important aspects of the
PostgreSQL system. It makes no attempt
to be a complete or thorough treatment of the topics it covers.
After you have worked through this tutorial you might want to move
on to reading Part II to gain a more formal knowledge
of the SQL language, or Part IV for
information about developing applications for
PostgreSQL. Those who set up and
manage their own server should also read Part III.
