I checked the PDF available on http://www.postgresql.org/files/documentation/pdf/8.2/postgresql-8.2-A4.pdf and it does have the issues Guillaume mentions: table 8-13 (on page 105) is certainly mangled (columns too wide), and table 8-18 is mangled too (a row's content is too wide for the columns, so the text on one column overlaps the text on the next). This problem can also be seen on other tables, for example 9-5 and 9-6. I printed one page and it looks just as silly, so it's not just a display problem. Also, the US version is lacking the index -- I suppose it was built without the complete index.sgml file. -- Alvaro Herrera http://www.CommandPrompt.com/ PostgreSQL Replication, Consulting, Custom Development, 24x7 support
