Обсуждение: PostgreSQL Programmer's Guide Books

Hi,

I was wondering how accurate there books are (perhaps not so much) , if one
wants to learn more about the internals?
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/static/programmer.html
http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/laine/postgresql/programmer/

These are basically old versions of the documentation, so thier relevance, and 
what you can get out of them, probably is strictly dependent on how much the 
code has changed in any given area.  Note there are some style differences 
that could make areas of the old docs more helpful (depending on thier 
accuracy), but that's more a style thing:
