Being in a similar situation (new to PostgreSQL)... I would say that
while the tutorials in the first section of the PostgreSQL manual are
great for SQL stuff... something similar for new users stuck
*administering* their own postgres server would be very useful.
Yes, the Fine Manual has all the necessary information... *if* you know
what to look for.
YMMV,
