Hi Michael,

You nailed it. I am reading the documentation cover to cover. I started chapter 9 two weeks ago but haven't found the time to read beyond 9.1 yet. But for day to day usage on the MySQL to PostgreSQL migration project that I'm working on I jump around in the docs as needed to find specific things that are further ahead in the docs than chapter 9.

. After a while, you'll find your way around the documentation.

I've been doing it almost every day for years, still learning every time.

I highly recommend reading the documentation from 'cover to cover' periodically.  Yes, there will be things you don't understand yet, but each time you'll pick up things you didn't get in previous passes.  A lot of people have put in a lot of time on that documentation, and it is first-rate. (I've been working on a project that requires MySQL, their documentation is far inferior.)
