Nobody has to "redo" anything at all if they don't want to. Printed
material in the software industry tends to age and become shelfware
nobody is ever looking at again. As long as all future material is using
Postgres alone, the change will go along just fine.
Granted, the time was much shorter, but where do you find any references
