Well, the manuals would be a good source of information for this. Go to
the website, and click "Documentation". There is a list of manuals on
the right-hand side. A good place to start is
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.0/static/datatype.html

http://techdocs.postgresql.org/ is a good place to start. Also, check
the mailing list archives for specific points.

Oh, there is a French-language community site too at:
http://www.postgresqlfr.org/
One of their news stories concerns a company moving from Oracle to
PostgreSQL too.
