Personally I think that the docs are great (especially so with 7.4). Of course they are aimed at experienced admins, so it is easier to find things if you have a basic understanding of the RDBMS to start with. Of course things can always be improved, but I am opposed to adding cruft to the core documentation. Let's keep these things friendly towards experienced users so that we can WORK efficiently.
IMO you can have both. How much would it hurt if there was a bit more information? Or a link to a related topic (as someone else suggested before).
If I think about using a certain PHP function I might want to double check on the exact syntax or to look at the minimum version required. So I go to the PHP.net website and quickly look at it.. but a newcomer might spend quite some time on the same page..
The same could become true for the PostgreSQL docs I gues. Meaning I will read a bit longer on the same page then you. But only until I have assimilated the information..
All I would ask is a bit more information in the docs then found at present, add information where it currently stops without talking to much :-)
I'm quite sure there are enough knowledgeable persons around to fill in the gaps found at present. But perhaps the interactive version of the docs might serve a great perpose here.
