Description:
Hi!
I am in the process of studying your DBMS. And everything was fine with me
until the moment when the tutorial in Chapter 2.1, which is proposed needed
to be compiled. And it would be fine if I was originally a proponent of the
"download sources, compile" algorithm, but I'm a simple user who's just
learning.
What is this complication for? And it would seem that there is only one
additional command - make. But there is no compiled or source of tutorial in
the Docker image, and it was not supposed to be for binaries on Windows.
And now I have to,
- firstly, look for the source code of the tutorial,
- secondly, determine the path of where the source code should be in an
already compiled application, or compile the whole application from scratch,
- thirdly, compile and be sure that the compilation will be successful,
- and fourth, finally run the tutorial files and continue studying.
Isn't that heresy?
What prevented you from including the tutorial sources in the already
compiled versions? What prevented you to make an option during installation,
where it is suggested to install pgAdmin and 3 more applications, actually
the tutorial itself? What prevented you add it as an option when starting
postgres or psql --start-tutorial in order to upload materials to the
database?
Fix it so that access to the tutorial (since you have it) becomes convenient
for ALL people with sources, binaries, installers, archives and any other
supplies.
