Thread: PGSQL internals

I am a beginner. I want to read the actual working of PGSQL right from the
start when it is installed. What it does in the background when a new
database is created, insert are issued and when the records are finally
committed. I want to read the actual internal working sequentially. Where
can I find this information?

The source code is the best place. It's very well-commented, and even if
you don't read C you can understand a lot about the internals just by
reading the comments.
