I'm reworking the German version of the FAQ (which is hopelessly outdated), in the course of which I've come across a few errors in the original (English) version, mainly minor things like spelling mistakes and broken links. Patch with suggested corrections attached (German version will follow ASAP). General alterations: Some links corrected; links to the domain "postgresql.org" now uniformly written as "PostgreSQL.org". Minor tidying up of formatting. Some specific notes / questions on the following sections: 1.4) What non-Unix ports are available? -> win31.mak should be win32.mak Added: "A native port to some Microsoft platforms is currently being worked upon." -> IIRC this is the case. Please correct if not. 1.8) What documentation is available? The link http://www.PostgreSQL.org/books/ is broken, http://www.ca.PostgreSQL.org/books/ works. (It would be more logical to fix the link rather than the FAQ I think, though). 3.9) What are the pg_sorttempNNN.NN files in my database directory? -> presume this should read "What are the pg_tempNNN.NN files..." ?? 4.4) How do you remove a column from a table? -> ALTER TABLE DROP COLUMN supported as of 7.3 :-) 4.15.2) How do I get the value of a SERIAL insert? -> Perl is a very versatile language, but this: new_id = output of "SELECT nextval('person_id_seq')" INSERT INTO person (id, name) VALUES (new_id, 'Blaise Pascal'); is most definitely not Perl ;-). I have made up a pseudo-language for the example. 4.16) What is an OID? What is a TID? -> backend/access/transam.h should be include/access/transam.h 4.17) What is the meaning of some of the terms used in PostgreSQL? -> The link http://www.comptechnews.com/~reaster/dbdesign.html is broken (the domain doesn't seem to exist). Suggest: http://hea-www.harvard.edu/MST/simul/software/docs/pkgs/pgsql/glossary/glossary.html as replacement. 4.25) How do I return multiple rows or columns from a function? -> Linked to current rather than developer documentation Regards Ian Barwick barwick@gmx.net
