postgresql documentation

Hi,

I've noticed that the PDF version of the manuals for 8.0 and 8.1
are lacking bookmarks and/or TOC and document reference links. If
this is generated via LaTeX, such links oculd easily be incorporated
via the hyperref package. It would make the document much easier to
navigate.

The PDF version is docbook->tex->pdf .. if you can make bookmarks
have at it :)

Warning... docbook->tex with our documentation can take days.

Hi Joshua,

Well, it's tempting! Can you tell me how, using FC4, I can grab the
documentation build environment from the repository and download it to
my machine? I would love to be able to make a small contribution to
such a fantastic project.

You can find instructions on how to build the documentation in the
documentation in Appendix G:
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/interactive/docguide.html

I'm not familiar with Fedora, but hopefully you'll be able to use
rpms or even build the tools you need from source.

Fedora has rpms for all the docbook stuff... Look for docbook-tools I
think it is.

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

The 7.4 and 8.0 manuals are missing the bookmarks/TOC, but the 8.1 manual
does have them.

I stand corrected - I was only using the 8.0 documentation. MUCH better!
