Documentation
New and updated material is present throughout the
documentation. New FAQs have been contributed for SGI
and AIX platforms. The Tutorial has introductory
information on SQL from Stefan Simkovics. For the User's
Guide, there are reference pages covering the postmaster
and more utility programs, and a new appendix contains
details on date/time behavior. The Administrator's Guide
has a new chapter on troubleshooting from Tom Lane. And
the Programmer's Guide has a description of query
processing, also from Stefan, and details on obtaining
the Postgres source tree via anonymous CVS and CVSup.
