Tutorial

Part I. Tutorial

Welcome to the PostgreSQL Tutorial. The following few chapters are intended to give a simple introduction to PostgreSQL, relational database concepts, and the SQL language to those who are new to any one of these aspects. We only assume some general   knowledge about how to use computers. No particular Unix or programming experience is required. This part is mainly intended to give you some hands-on experience with important aspects of the PostgreSQL system. It makes no attempt to be a complete or thorough treatment of the topics it covers.

 

After you have worked through this tutorial you might want to move on to reading Part II to gain a more formal knowledge of the SQL language, or Part IV for information about developing applications for PostgreSQL. Those who set up and manage their own server should also read Part III.

 

第一部分：基础概览

欢迎使用PostgreSQL。以下几章，针对初学者，对PostgreSQL、关系型数据库概念、SQL语言等进行了入门级介绍。学习此部分，只要基本的计算机操作基础，而并不需要特定的Unix或者编程经验。本部分概要的讲解了PostgreSQL几个主要部分的实践经验。

 

当读完此部分之后，你可能需要读一下第二部分去获取关于SQL语言的更多知识；或者读第四部分以了解针对PostgreSQL的应用开发。那些自己管理服务端的同学们，建议也读一下第三部分。
