Re: relation model vs SQL1999 conformance vs PostgreSQL

hello me,
Since I am able to search archives (plus reading your docs), I have found
answers to almost all of my questions.
albeit attempt to invoke spirits failed.
Looks like I rised too much general questions, indecent for
pgsql-general@postgresql.org list  ;-).

anyway Postgres documentation is great!

Regards,
Alvis
