I am not a PostgreSQL user, just an editor who has looked over some
of your printable documentation. I found some problems and thought
you'd like to know about them...

PostreSQL 7.1 Administrator's Guide

On page iii (2nd line), something is printing as a square (?).

On page xv (antepenultimate line), "Gnu Project" should be "GNU
Project".

On page 78, the "Release date" is listed as "2001-??-??".

PostreSQL 7.1 Developer's Guide

The Arabic page numbers do not match the actual page numbers for
"List of Tables" and "List of Examples".

PostreSQL 7.1 Programmer's Guide

The Arabic page numbers do not match the actual page numbers for
"List of Tables" , "List of Figures", and "List of Examples". Also,
there seem to be two sequences of Arabic page numbers (e.g., the
Preface is not the first item, yet it is listed as Page "i").

PostreSQL 7.1 Reference Manual

Certain entries in the Table of Contents are exdented slightly
(alternatively, the other entries may be indented slightly :-):

CHECKPOINT, RESET, SET, SET CONSTRAINTS, SET TRANSACTION, SHOW,
createdb, createuser, etc.

PostreSQL 7.1 User's Guide

The Arabic page numbers do not start with the first page of the
document; the "Table of Contents" should be on page "iii". Also,
there seem to be two sequences of Arabic page numbers (e.g., the
Preface is not the first item, yet it is listed as Page "i").

In Table 3-10, the text is jammed up against the lefthand rules.

On page 53 (3rd line), something is printing as a square (?).
