misleading text in postgresql-7.4.2-US.pdf: 37.2.1. Handling of Q uotation Marks
This section talks about escaping single quotes in the body of a PL/pgSQL
function. The text, as it appears in the PDF version, uses one double-quote
character (") where two single quotation character should appear. This cost
me a few hours to figure out. The web version does not have this problem.
This must be an artifact of the word processing software.

Hi,
I'm relatively new to PG, having done some initial testing on Windows, and more recently
setting up a Linux dev box... the goal being that I'm moving my small business towards
being mostly an open source shop.
In getting more familiar with open source, it seems to me that documentation is usuallly the
weakest point; there've been some products I suspect are great that I am not using yet
because the docs are so bad.
I joined this list specifically to say, "Great work on the PostgreSQL documentation!" It's well
organized, good english grammar & syntax, the works. It's commercial quality. I'm not a
professional writer, but I do know that takes a lot of work.
Thanks!
