Thread: Missing File weather.txt

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/tutorial-populate.html
Description:

On this page https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/tutorial-populate.html you
have this command:

COPY weather FROM '/home/user/weather.txt';

I've searched all over for weather.txt and can't find it. Please could you
make this and any other files required for the tutorial available and
provide clear instructions for accessing them at the beginning of the
tutorial.

Thanks.

This is only mentioned as an example of another input method, with a link to
the COPY page for more information.  That being said, it's a good thing for a
tutorial to be self-contained, and going from a basic tutorial to the COPY
reference page is a fairly large step.  I propose that we add a small example
on what weather.txt could look like as per the attached diff.
