 I don't work with ODBC/Win, but people who installed 7.4 don't found it
 in docs and asked about it in  others lists. I have care about our good
 docs only, I was something like docs bugreport :-)

[DOCS] Experimental setup for XSLT processing

2004-01-13 Thread Peter Eisentraut
I've committed make rules and a stylesheet to try out processing the 
documentation via XSLT.  You need to have a recent OpenSP and xsltproc 
installed.  Then run "make testxml" in the "sgml" documentation 
directory and it should build HTML using XSLT stylesheets.  Once we're 
satisfied with the results and the performance, I suppose we can 
consider using that as our primary method.

Re: [DOCS] The Tutorial(TM)

2004-01-13 Thread Joshua D. Drake

2. The SQL Language
2.1. Introduction
2.2. Concepts
2.3. Creating a New Table
2.4. Populating a Table With Rows
2.5. Querying a Table
2.6. Joins Between Tables
2.7. Aggregate Functions
2.8. Updates
2.9. Deletions
3. Advanced Features
3.1. Introduction
3.2. Views
3.3. Foreign Keys
3.4. Transactions
3.5. Inheritance
3.6. Conclusion
I'd be inclined to put aggregates, transactions, foreign keys, and views
into the "intermediate" category, leaving only inheritance as
"advanced".  (Or maybe we should just drop inheritance from the tutorial.)
You could possibly even argue that joins are intermediate instead of
basic, although that's stretching it a bit.
I agree with Peter's point that the first thing to teach is how to get
data in and out.
 

You could add triggers, rules into advanced features... You could also 
break joins up so that when
talking about outer, left etc... it goes into advanced but basic "join 
on" or natural joins are in
intermediate.
