The documentation set contains several references to commercial books
about databases and/or SQL for "more information". Most of these are
rather old by today's standards (93-97), so I think we should do something
about that. Possibilities:
a) Update the list with our favourites of the day
b) Sell advertisement spots for the documentation ;-)
c) Not list any commerical books in the documentation at all
Personally, I'm leaning towards (c) because I feel the documentation
should not be biased in that way, and it makes it look less like "we're
too lazy to document this, please read a book".
Untouched by any of this would of course be references to relevant
academic works and specific references to any kind of text to support
implementation choices, etc.
Comments?
