Ouch is right. When I browsed through this book at a store I was put off by the books small size and large amounts of space devoted to the authors LXP application server. PostgreSQL Developer's Handbook is a book worth looking at. Very in depth including coverage of Perl. I'm still waiting on a book that get's into Object-Relational database stuff.

Is it just me, or is O'Reilly behind the curve when it comes to open-source databases? New Riders Press and Sams seem to be the leaders in this area.
