Subject: Re: DOCS - Add introductory paragraph to Getting Started chapter
Date: Wed, 8 Apr 2026 09:05:41 +0800
Message-ID: <CAKx0YhzAMmbua4e0He+B_fi7hkMGunxYg8tHyMU6BoZS_8Z58w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Following up on Tom's suggestion that Chapters 2 and 3 of the
tutorial likewise lack introductory paragraphs, I've attached a
patch that adds them.

Chapter 2 (The SQL Language) gets a paragraph summarizing tables,
queries, joins, aggregates, and data modification.

Chapter 3 (Advanced Features) gets a paragraph summarizing views,
foreign keys, transactions, window functions, and inheritance.

Regards,
Dapeng Wang
