Re: Chapter on PostreSQL in a book

Sailesh,

First off, I'd suggest reopening this topic on Advocacy or Docs.   Hackers is 
really not the list for this, and I think you'd get more feedback on those 
other lists.

>  - Database Design and Querying Tools

Well, I think there is no question that phpPgAdmin and pgAdminIII are our two 
leading Admin/Database Browsing tools.   If you drop to the runners-up, 
though, you have a choice of 8 or 9 different tools which are still current.  
Perhaps this page will give some perspective?
http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/GUITools

I might suggest, for a single chapter, going over the top two but mentioning 
that there are many others.

>  - Replication, Distribution and External Data

For replication we have and will continute to have several solutions, both OSS 
and commercial.   Replication is not a problem that suits itself to a single, 
monolithic solution, and our diversity is superiority.   You should mention 
eRServer, SlonyI, DBmirror, and Mammoth Replication.

What are distribution & external data?

>  - Database Administration Tools

How is this different from the first item?
