OK, done. CC'ing to docs.

These are just the reference manual pages, formatted into Unix manual
page format, so people can do 'man insert'.

Yes, postgres.tar.gz is the mega-manual, while we also distribute the
seconds separately, e.g. admin, reference, etc.

We removed it and put it on the developers page. We decided it didn't
belong in the CVS or tarball.

I will throw this question out to the group.

There's an attempt to explain this here:

Sections I, II, and III. In other words, there's nothing in the man pages
that you don't see in the HTML version or in any other format.

It is in the nature of the way we maintain and format our documentation
that any format can be viewed as a reformatted version of another format.
See also under the link posted above.

All of these pages are theoretically worth printing. Not sure what "other
documents" you are referring to. If there are any, then there's something
wrong.

So, if I'm printing the PostgreSQL "books", FAQs, and the "internals.ps"
file, I've got things pretty well covered.

There might be some (e.g., historic) papers that aren't in the distro for
some reason, but would be interesting for some folks to have. Can't hurt
to ask...

Well, the internals.ps paper was removed for a reason, so I'd advise you
not to print it.
The FAQ's are the only thing that seem to escape the unified DocBook
source for some reason.
Btw., how do you plan to format the material for printing?

And that reason would be??? Seriously, it seems like a useful paper;
even if it isn't needed in the distribution, it may be worth printing.
>Btw., how do you plan to format the material for printing?
I turn all material into PostScript, using whichever tool( chain)s seem
appropriate. I then run the PostScript files through a Perl script
which scales, translates, and adds descriptive footers. Finally, I
prepend some "front matter" (e.g., TOC, Preface) and concatenate the
result into a single PostScript document, which I "distill" into PDF
and send off to the printing firm, along with the volume's cover art.
The current set of PostgreSQL volumes used the distributed PostScript
files for the 7.1 books; the upcoming set will probably start from PDF
files, converted to PostScript by Adobe Acrobat (i.e., "Print to File").
I format the ASCII FAQs using a2ps (and a bunch of options :-).

P.S. There is no entry for pgsql-docs on the "User's Lounge" web page,
so I can't subscribe. Also, there is a formatting error in the

It sounds like the paper should probably be left out of the next set of
PostgreSQL volumes. Perhaps it could go into a volume of "historic" papers.

Yes, site was down for a while in the past; wasn't sure if it was back

There is obviously no shortage of historic papers! Would anyone here
like to see me publish one or more volumes of these papers? I can
handle the production details, but I need a wish list of papers to
include and some help in contacting the owners of the articles.
Although USENIX is a conspicuous exception, many organizations and
institutions retain the rights to all material they publish. Thus, it
is not necessarily the case that the author(s) can give permission for
a piece to be included in an anthology. OTOH, if the author _wants_
the piece to be included, we have a fighting chance.
