The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/tutorial-populate.html
Description:
I'm trying to read the docs/tutorial from start to finish, and I made it to
the end of "2.4. Populating a Table With Rows" before getting confused. and
see `COPY weather FROM '/home/user/weather.txt';` referenced as an
alternative example to running all the individual inserts. This confused me
because I spent time looking for a link to download this, and eventually
skimming through /src/tutorial/* on github, and couldn't find it anywhere.
Now I'm thinking it doesn't exist anywhere, but it would be nice if (A) it
was specified explicitly that this example file doesn't exist anywhere for
download, or (B) provide a link to the github or similar where a plain text
file can be downloaded for loading tutorial datasets.
Thank you, and happy 4th of July

Thanks for the report! Daniel has added the weather.txt example to the docs [1].
It will appear at v17 docs on the website after the next minor release.
