I'm studying database management on my own with a college text book, and along
the way, I've been writing an html file using <dl> to create a definition list
of terms from the book with my own elaborated explanations that breakdown the
terseness. I am making examples, and procedures for some things, having to
do with normal forms and other things.
If a glossary of database design/management terms can fit into any of the
PostgreSQL documentation, I'd be happy to offer it. What I have so far is at:
http://www.comptechnews.com/~reaster/dbdesign.html
Maybe it will be worthy if I keep working on it.
Robert

That would be a very nice addition to the docs. To incorporate the
info into the main docs we would simple modify the markup to
SGML/DocBook, then automatically format into hardcopy and html.
Please consider submitting it when you think it is ready. You might
also solicit contributions from others, to help share the load.
Regards.

I have added this to our FAQ. Thanks.
