Great.  I pulled the HTML version of the Chinese FAQ from
http://www.pgsqldb.org/postgres-faq.html and generated the text version
on my end. I also backpatched it to 8.0.X.  If you make changes, would
you email me a new HTML version or let me know so I can download it from
your web site and keep it up to date.  Thanks.

About the link to the lo_* functions. I thought about adding
a sentence to Charpter 9 like 'And functions to manipulate large
objects are presented in Charpter 28.' right after the phrase
'Users can also define their own functions and operators, as
described in Part V.'
Do you think it's suitable?
Not really.  We don't mention pg_stat_activity functions either.  I
think people have to realize that some functions are covered in other
sections of the manual.  There is a clearly titled section for large
objeccts.
OK, what about writing down this idea? "Not all functions are listed
in this Chapter, some are in other sections of the manual."
And I still think that an additional Appendix with a list of all
functions and referencies to their descriptions would be very usefull.
Can you comment on that?
