Seriously? So someone can afford a $500 computer ( in addition to
accessories ), but they wouldn't be able to afford a $60 book (which BTW,
there are several for lesser amount) ?
I have been monitoring this thread for many days now. It originally started
as a request for users to write a separate user tutorial. But a tutorial
for what? That was never stated.
What exactly is missing from the official documentation? Isn't it the
purpose of pgsql-general to answer user questions? Why is there such a
great need to create yet a third form to guide
PostgreSQL users, which would only end up being included in a google search
anyway, with no guarantee of priority?
