Postgres isn't just my favorite database. Postgres is an example for all people about how a project should be run. There are lots of stakeholders who want different things. The dev team looks at what's being asked for and what is reasonable within a certain timeline. And then the team delivers features and supports them. And then on top of that there is best-in-class documentation.
Thank you to all of the team members who put your time and effort into this project. It's not only a wonderful tool that I use every day, it's also a model of how to manage a project.
- rc_bhg 9y ago"best-in-class documentation" ?? what am I missing. I dread having to lookup how to do things in postgres because their documentation is so horrible to find things in.
- grzm 9y agoCan you provide an example? In my experience I find the index[0] particularly useful, as well as the SQL command reference[1], the datatype reference[2], the function reference[3], and the server configuration section[4]. I know other people have different usage patterns and different amounts of familiarity with the docs, so I'm aware that my experience may not match yours.
