Most commonly that will be
server = the machine you installed postgres on
port= postgres' default 5432 unless you changed it on installation
user   = the user account that owns the database in question
password = the password you assigned to that user

[DOCS] Contributing

2005-05-19 Thread Andrej Ricnik-Bay
Hi Gents,

I'd like to know whether there's some need for a translator
English <-> German ... I'd love to contribute to the project,
and keep my German alive at the same time :)  over 4 Years
in NZ with hardly any occasion to speak it.


Cheers,
Andrej

Re: [DOCS] "May", "can", "might"

Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

can - ability, "I can lift that log."

might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

I would like to clean up our documentation to consistently use these
words.  Objections?

My full support. :}  I like clarity, specially on such important things
as communication!

You could certainly rework comments into changes to the main text and
send them to the pgsql-docs list.  If there are problems with the
grammar, somebody will correct it.  Or maybe they won't, but it doesn't
matter, because the good thing is that the new text will be there.  A
piece of text with a minor grammatical error is better than no text at
all.

Amen to that :}  (at least if it's not completely misleading).

Re: [DOCS] Volunteer to build a configuration tool

Mario,

Lance,


The JavaScript configuration tool I proposed would not be in the install
of PostgreSQL.  It would be an HTML page.  It would be part of the HTML
documentation or it could be a separate HTML page that would be linked
from the HTML documentation.

So you're not after a tool that configures postgres at all,
just one that can give you sensible guesstimates for some
parameters based on your intended use?



Thanks,

Lance Campbell

There was a thread about this not long ago ... not sure
whether on this list or on general; but I don't think it is.
