[DOCS] PostgreSQL 8.0.3 Documentation - Appendix F. The CVS Repository

[Halley Pacheco de Oliveira]

It is written:

Anonymous CVS  1. You will need a local copy of CVS (Concurrent Version Control 
System), which you
can get from http://www.cvshome.org/ (the official site with the latest version)

But when you try to access this link you get the message:

CVS development and the CVS information pages have moved to 
http://www.nongnu.org/cvs/. Please see
that page for more information about the move.

This page has moved.

Regards,
Halley

TIP 3: Have you checked our extensive FAQ?

Re: [DOCS] Article doing a basic comparison of MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL

[Joshua D. Drake]

I find this peculiar, considering this:

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/tutorial-start.html

Now, perhaps the author's conclusion is just bogus but can anyone think of
better ways in which we could ease people into PostgreSQL?
 


I think more than likely it just isn't obvious where the tutorial is.
I just went to the website, I clicked documentation, no immediate
mention of the tutorial. Then I click 8.0, where is the tutorial?

Oh... it is in the beginning of the 1300 pages of documentation.

Honestly, I didn't even know it was there. Of course I haven't had
need for it, but if I couldn't readily find it in 1 click (which is what
it should be) then a guy writing an article isn't going to either.

The tutorial/introduction should be a nice fat link in the center of
the page when you click documentation.

Right now when you click documentation you get this:

There is a wealth of PostgreSQL information available online. This 
section contains current  and 
archived  manuals for 
PostgreSQL users, as well as frequently asked questions 
.


You can learn what's new  in 
the latest release, and view a listing of books 
 written about PostgreSQL (some of 
which are available in their entirety online). Technical documentation 
 is also available in this section.


Which should probably be:

There is a wealth of PostgreSQL information available online. If you are 
new to PostgreSQL we strongly suggest you check out
the latest Tutorial. This section contains current 
 and archived 
 manuals for PostgreSQL 
users, as well as frequently asked questions 
.

I think that the documentation should be split (back out) into separate 
books -- tutorial, reference, release notes, etc.  It is too unwieldy as 
it is.  The release notes at least should be separate -- I was rather 
pissed off when I discovered that what I had printed out included 
changes for releases I had no interest in.  If the documents have been 
amalgamated to suit a publisher then I feel even more agrieved -- I 
resent having to pay for padding and resent the waste of paper.   With a 
duplex printer the documentation fills two binders; printed simplex it 
would be more like four!
