Hi,

I want to learn the Postgresql database system as part of my study. What I
need to know whether there is documentation that explain the source codes.

Anyone can help me. I am really eager to understand the underlying
Postgresql database system.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Jonny

(send "unregister YourEmailAddressHere" to majordomo@postgresql.org)

I don't know if you are aware of the database internals presentation Bruce
posted on the hackers list the other day :

http://candle.pha.pa.us/main/writings/internals.pdf

That could maybe be a starting point.
