You're right, the page count is just unfeasible.
You could try mpage-ing it to 4 pages per sheet and print it out double-sided,
you would then have a smaller document that could be bound- the only problem
is the text would be so small to be virtually unreadable. I did this
with a Common
Lisp manual years ago and never refer to it for that reason.
A good compromise would be to invest in a PostgreSQL book
(best: PostgreSQL by Korry Douglas
also good: Practical PostgreSQL by Command Prompt,
PostgreSQL: Introduction and Concepts by Momjian)
and refer to the Postgres docs for the definitive reference.
Cheers,
Stuart.
