And whilst I was perusing the docs, I also noticed this on http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/backup.html "Each has its own strengths and weaknesses. Each is discussed in turn below." That sentence is at the bottom of the page. It would make sense in a PDF, but might be a confusing in section-by-section HTML documentation. -- Thom Brown Registered Linux user: #516935 -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
