Many of these subjects already *are* covered in the Tutorial.  Just
looking in the 7.4 table of contents, I see

3. Advanced Features
     3.1. Introduction
     3.2. Views
     3.3. Foreign Keys
     3.4. Transactions
     3.5. Inheritance
     3.6. Conclusion

The discussions are skimpy and could use fleshed out a little, no doubt.
(Anyone who wants to contribute material is surely welcome to.)

BTW, there is a separate mailing list pgsql-docs for those who want to
work on documentation.

            regards, tom lane
