Ah, was nothing really *polishes fingernails on lapel* :)
There are extensive docs in several places, but I would like to think
that the html/hardcopy docs first appearing in v6.3 are the best and
most complete (that is true for many cases, but some info is still
elsewhere for now).
Anyway, install the online docs and start reading. There is a tutorial,
a user's guide, an administrator's guide, and some programmer's
resources. To install the docs, go to the doc/ directory which is at the
same level as src/. From the "make install" directory do a
$ cd ../doc
$ make install
Then point your web brower at
file://localhost/your_path_to_postgres/doc/postgres/index.html
and go from there.
Good luck, and have fun with it...
