[DOCS] Online docs links for 10.0 vs 10

I think the documentation links for version 10 need attention. The series of documentation text and links for the current releases are 9.5, 9.6: ... https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/ https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/ so I would have expected the new batch of releases[1] to sim

[DOCS] pg_dump -t '"Table"' for cmd.exe

I'm not sure if this is worth documenting, but pg_dumping mixed-case tables with the '-t table' option appears to not be accurately documented for cmd.exe. Here are my four attempts, with only the last as success: Intuitive (supplying "My Table" like "My Database"), but not correct: C:\>"C:\Progra

[DOCS] Improve pg_restore docs

Hi, From a quick discussion on hackers (http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-hackers/2009-06/msg01434.php), it appears the documentation can improve for pg_restore. I've prepared some quick diff output from pgsql/doc/src/sgml/ref/pg_restore.sgml for some changes that I think would help. Not
