[DOCS] German FAQ update...

...attached. It's rather large because I've changed the encoding to UTF-8 to match the server encoding. Note: the link http://store.pgsql.com/shopping/ still does not work. Don't forget to update the version number in FAQ 1.7 to 8.0 in the other FAQs before packaging! Ian Barwick [EMAIL PROTEC

[DOCS] FAQ doesn't mention ALTER COLUMN TYPE

Question 4.4 in the FAQ, "How do you remove a column from a table, or change its data type?" doesn't mention 8.0's ability to alter a column's type with ALTER TABLE tab ALTER COLUMN col TYPE new_type. Since 8.0 is coming up the FAQ should probably mention this. -- Michael Fuhr http://www.fuhr.org
