Thread: manuals
I'm a newbie. I have printed out nearly 2 mb of postscript manuals without realizing that they are for 6.5. I'm going to use 7.0.3 and would like to know whether I'm foolish to rely on 6.5 manuals. I really don't feel like wasting paper and printing 7.0 manual and dumping 6.5. Who put 6.5 manuals on top of 7.0 on that web page? Not everyone has 72 inch monitor you know.

you could also just buy bruce's book . amazon could have it delivered to you faster than printing them all out again :) On Tue, 12 Dec 2000 09:05:44 -0500 (EST), Bruce Momjian wrote: > > > > I'm a newbie. > > > > I have printed out nearly 2 mb of postscript manuals without > > realizing that they are for 6.5.

This appears at the TOP of the page with Documentation in large bold type: Documentation Current Release Docs (ver 7.0) Current Development Docs The two lines that begin with Current are links.

Yeah, that's the ticket ;-)
Seriously, I can see Bruce's point here. In my browser (Netscape
4.something) the lines that stand out are
Documentation
Version 6.5
Version 7.0
these being bold, black, and about twice as large as the rest of the
text. ISTM that the page structure you want the user to see is
Current Release Docs
multiple links here
Development Version Docs
probably just one cross-link here
Old Version Docs
multiple links here
The way you have it has all the same information, but the visual
structure of the page definitely gives pride of place to v6.5,
which is strange.

Just to make sure I'm on the same page, I'm getting my documentation from the Users lounge link at the front page. http://postgresql.readysetnet.com/users-lounge/docs/ Current Documentation had a header as the very first entry saying version 7.0. Never thought that was a problem. As for now, the link doesn't do anything when you click on Current Release docs.

Works now. Maybe the mirror was broken or something. I was sent to the readysetnet page when I checked the first time. The actual link at the time I went to the site had an empty anchor (#).

Sorry, but where (in which manual) can I find specific information on how TOAST works, how to use WAL, and how to make a good configuration (acctually I want the options that I can put) of the pg_hda.conf file.
