Seriously? So someone can afford a $500 computer ( in addition to accessories ), but they wouldn't be able to afford a $60 book (which BTW, there are several for lesser amount) ? I have been monitoring this thread for many days now. It originally started as a request for users to write a separate user tutorial. But a tutorial for what? That was never stated. What exactly is missing from the official documentation? Isn't it the purpose of pgsql-general to answer user questions? Why is there such a great need to create yet a third form to guide PostgreSQL users, which would only end up being included in a google search anyway, with no guarantee of priority?
