I think these chapters are separate because they address fairly different subject matter. You could call the latter chapter "Routine Maintenance Tasks" without loss of meaning, as it doesn't focus on maintaining individual databases per se. > Server configuration is kind of vague...

Personally I don't think that's an improvement, although I'm not completely satisfied with "Server Configuration" either. > But then why isn't that under Managing Databases :) Because that chapter describes managing individual databases and tablespaces, not an entire PostgreSQL instance. -Neil
