Mike,

I suggest you use the online documentation.  If you already know SQL
then just try what you know how to do and see what happens.  The
developers have created a database that is hugely SQL standard.  I
realize there could be some argument about that point but if you already
know compliant sql why look for issues.

Try these documentation pages.
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-createtable.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-insert.html
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/interactive/sql-copy.html
