First, thanks for the docs. They have been very helpful

In section 2.1 Introduction, I read



$ cd ..../src/tutorial
$ psql -s mydb
...
mydb=> \i basics.sql


Specifically, when I typed in "\i basics.sql" I got the error

basics.sql: No such file or directory

when I typed in "\i basics.source" it seemed to work.

I believe the docs should be changed from "\i basics.sql" to "\i 
basics.source"


hope this was helpful

thanks
stony

No, that would be wrong.  However it does seem like a good idea to
transpose the directions in the README file into the SGML docs ...
you evidently missed the need to "make" the tutorial files.
