Looks good.
One comment - one paragraph reads:
====
One add-on tool some find useful for exploring the PostgreSQL planner is
Visual Explain, originally a RedHat component that has been kept current
and improved by Enterprise DB. It comes bundled with the EnterpriseDB
Advanced Server package and can be built to run against other PostgreSQL
installations using the source code to their Developer Studio package.

For the record, pgAdmin also includes a visual explain tool with similar
capabilities.
