about the author

Hi! My name is Dimitri Fontaine and I have been using and contributing to Open Source Software for the best of the last 20 years. I am a PostgreSQL Major Contributor after having contributed Extensions and Event Triggers, among other things.

I have been writing code almost daily for a very long time now, both in a professional capacity and on my leisure time. I’ve also been a database architect and a DBA on-call. As a developer I enjoy using SQL. As a database architect, I like teaching advanced SQL techniques to my colleagues.

FAQ

What if the book isn’t what I expected it would be?: The Art of PostgreSQL is a book that teaches SQL to application developers. If it's not of any value to you, then just say so and I'll refund you, no questions asked.
I bought the book, and I'm confused. What now?: The content of the book is available as a PDF, ePub and MOBI file, and you can also download the SQL queries. The content is available over at https://members.theartofpostgresql.com/courses/the-art-of-postgresql/ from your student dashboard.
Is there any DRM?: No. There isn't even watermarking on the PDF. You own what you buy. The sources of data selected for the book are all available with Open Data types of licenses, and the book itself is copyright Dimitri Fontaine. All rights reserved.
Any other questions?: Contact me by email and just ask! I will do my best to answer you.
