Being that I'm one of the ones responsible, let me make it very clear that the
current nspostgres driver is a derivative work from the ACS/pg (OpenACS)
postgres driver, which is IN TURN a derivative of the original Postgres95
example driver written by Jim Davidson for AOLserver 2.x long long ago.  I
have been involved in that driver since AOLserver 2.2.1 and PostgreSQL 6.2.1
and tested the beta driver for AS2.2.1 for AOL long long ago (still have the
e-mails, too).

HOWEVER, the AS 2.x docs were and are much better than anything since.
Basically everything you mention, Tom, was addressed fully in the AS2.x docs.
I still have the AS2.3.3 doc set somewhere in PDF form.
