[DOCS] Novice Guide to PostgreSQL compilation on Windows
Hi, I was successfully today with installation of MinGW MinSys and then compilation of PostgreSQL on an WindowsXP SP1. I have documented all my steps for my convenience and would like to know if someone else needs it or more appropriately would the document be accepted as PostgreSQL Windows How to ? Kindly tell me know 1. How can I contribute this document to the comunity 2. Who is responsible for keeping the Windows Docs. Some Spec about the document : 1. It is written in OpenOffice 2. With help of versioning system of Openoffice we can handle the changes in future If this has been already done then sorry I waisted your and mine time. Suggestions / Comments / Ideas Most welcome. -- Best Regards, Vishal Kashyap Director / Lead Developer, Sai Hertz And Control Systems Pvt Ltd, http://saihertz.rediffblogs.com Jabber IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 264360076 Yahoo IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. - Buddha --- pgsql=# select marital_status from vishals_life; marital_status -- Single not looking 1 Row(s) affected ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])

When everybody gets to look at it and refine it, possibly it can be included in postgresql documentation. Personally I am eagerly waiting to try postgresql on windows sicne I don't get to use linux much these days..:-( Shridhar ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 6: Have you searched our list archives? http://archives.postgresql.org

Hi , Could you please post it on a webpage? When everybody gets to look at it and refine it, possibly it can be included in postgresql documentation. I could have done it with web page but OpenOffice gives an ugly face to the export thus I am uploading a PDF format file at http://vishalkashyap.speedpost.net/1_beta.zip Kindly go through the same and let me know short comings at [email protected] -- Best Regards, Vishal Kashyap Director / Lead Developer, Sai Hertz And Control Systems Pvt Ltd, http://saihertz.rediffblogs.com Jabber IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ : 264360076 Yahoo IM: [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection. - Buddha --- pgsql=# select marital_status from vishals_life; marital_status -- Single not looking 1 Row(s) affected ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 3: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
[DOCS] IS DISTINCT FROM not documented
On one of the other lists a suggestion was made to use the IS DISTINCT FROM operator. I didn't remember seeing anything about this before so I tried to look it up in the 7.4.2 documentation. After not finding anything, I tried grepping the documentation source and was only able to find a reference to it in the release notes for 7.3. It may be that because of line breaks or mark up that I missed it. But even if it is there, it doesn't seem to be in an obvious place. ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 4: Don't 'kill -9' the postmaster

Actually, I just added docs for the row-wise version a day or two ago: http://developer.postgresql.org/docs/postgres/functions-comparisons.html#AEN12851 But it should probably be mentioned somewhere in section 9.2 (comparison operators) as well. Anyone want to craft some text? regards, tom lane ---(end of broadcast)--- TIP 2: you can get off all lists at once with the unregister command (send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to [EMAIL PROTECTED])
Re: [DOCS] [HACKERS] Linking the previously separated documentation

Is anyone else working on something like this? Is it worthwhile? There's been talk of this earlier, but I don't recall anyone specifically saying they'd tackle it. It's definitely worth doing. Okay. I'll keep working. If so, I've got a question as to style. My first idea was not to change the text at all, and just replace (in the above example) "pg_dump" with . Should I be rewriting these sections or is what I'm doing agreeable? There are (or at one time were) references along the line of "see the pg_dump page in the reference manual". These obviously could do with rephrasing now, if you find any left. As far as style goes, try to keep in mind that the link only helps for HTML-formatted output, and we do still try to support printing the documentation on dead trees. The reference should read well when the link infrastructure isn't there. I think this means you want to have ... see the pg_dump reference page ... and not just ... see pg_dump ... except where the context is pretty obvious, such as a SEE ALSO section of another reference page. If I'm understanding you correctly, that's what I'm doing. Here's an example of the change: Original: Please familiarize yourself with the pg_dump reference page. Revised: Please familiarize yourself with the reference page. Doing it this way makes for quicker changes and few disruptions of any output flow, I believe. And it gets things linked. Rewriting could be worried about later.
