> This part covers topics that are of interest to a
<SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> database administrator. This includes
installation of the software, set up and configuration of the
server, management of users and databases, and maintenance tasks.
Anyone who runs a <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> server, even for
personal use, but especially in production, should be familiar
with the topics covered in this part.
</P
><P
> The information in this part is arranged approximately in the
order in which a new user should read it. But the chapters are
self-contained and can be read individually as desired. The
information in this part is presented in a narrative fashion in
topical units. Readers looking for a complete description of a
particular command should look into <A
HREF="reference.html"
>Part VI</A
>.
</P
><P
> The first few chapters are written so that they can be understood
without prerequisite knowledge, so that new users who need to set
up their own server can begin their exploration with this part.
The rest of this part is about tuning and management; that material
assumes that the reader is familiar with the general use of
the <SPAN
CLASS="PRODUCTNAME"
>PostgreSQL</SPAN
> database system. Readers are
encouraged to look at <A
HREF="tutorial.html"
>Part I</A
> and <A
HREF="sql.html"
>Part II</A
> for additional information.
