Re: I want to know how to improve the security of postgresql

Karsten,
The project homepage has a reference to the project documentation. It
can be found here:
http://veil.projects.postgresql.org/curdocs/index.html

If this does not contain what you are looking for, please explain what
you need to know as I'd like to improve the documentation.

I'm guessing that you'd like a conceptual overview. I intended this to
be provided in the section Overview: a quick introduction to Veil buit
maybe it falls short. If there is a better way to introduce the
concepts, I'd like to hear any ideas.

Feel free to contact me directly if you have any questions at all. I'd
be pleased to help GNUmed.
