I find that it is generally difficult to find things in the docs but that once you find it the information is usually very good. There are exceptions as have already been pointed out of course. Example issues I see: Why is Managing Database and Routine Database Management separate? Server configuration is kind of vague... Perhaps PostgreSQL configuration? But then why isn't that under Managing Databases :) Sincerely, Joshua D.
