Postgres Professional has made the book 'PostgreSQL 16 Internals' (PDF, 665 pages) available as open access. The book provides a detailed examination of the PostgreSQL database management system. It is valuable for administrators and developers who want to understand the internals of PostgreSQL, as well as for those familiar with another database system and transitioning to PostgreSQL to learn about the differences. The author of the book is Egor Rogov, Director of Educational Programs at Postgres Professional.
The first edition, based on PostgreSQL version 14, was released in March 2022 and updated to version 15. Due to significant reader interest, the book has been translated into English, becoming the most popular thematic publication of 2023 according to Postgres Weekly, and it is listed among professional literature on the official PostgreSQL community website. The current edition incorporates feedback from readers, fixes typographical errors, and reflects changes that have occurred in PostgreSQL version 16.
Additionally, it is worth noting the availability of a complete translation of the official PostgreSQL 16 documentation, as well as several Russian-language books on PostgreSQL published as open access — 'Postgres: A First Encounter' (PDF), 'PostgreSQL. Basics of SQL Language' (PDF), 'Fundamentals of Database Technologies' (PDF), 'Guide to Databases' (PDF), and 'PostgreSQL Monitoring' (PDF).
