Learning PostgreSQL
Solution 1
I have found the documentation on the web for postgresql to be very high quality.
Solution 2
Having gone through this exact process about a year ago I found the following useful:
- psql prompt is your friend.
- The postgres online docs are great.
- This postgres book was great for both admin and programing for postgres driven programs.
Solution 3
best way to learn to admin a database is to download it, install it, and start it up and work through the problems/questions as they happen.
download from: http://www.postgresql.org/
Once you have it up and running, pick a topic to learn and read up on that one topic. Move from topic to topic, until you can do everything you want to do.

What's the best place to start learning PostgreSQL administration and programming in a Linux environment? What websites are the most recommended, concise and have easy to learn tutorials?
I am already familiar with ANSI SQL from playing with SQL Server and MySQL; however, I've never touched PostgreSQL before. Any direction you can give is appreciated.
