Description:
The Art of PostgreSQL, 2nd Edition, Updated (2026) This update modernises the book from PostgreSQL 11 to the 17/18 landscape, adds a new chapter on vector search, and introduces a fully integrated companion lab, 56 new TikZ figures, and a systematic prose and infrastructure overhaul.

The companion lab. All examples in the book now have a runnable home. github.com/dimitri/TheArtOfPostgreSQL is an open Docker-based PostgreSQL environment that ships every dataset used in the book - F1db, MoMA, Geonames, Last.fm, Wikidata castle ruins, London OSM, and more - preloaded and ready. Chapter~?? was rewritten around the lab as the reader's starting point: three docker commands, a psql session, and a queries/toc.txt index linking every query in the book to its chapter. The lab runs PostgreSQL 17 by default; PG 18 is supported with a one-line image
change.
