I agree the PostgreSQL source is very nice (for the most part), but I think there could be more higher-level documentation of the internals. For example, until a few days ago the access method API was completely undocumented (in SGML, at least). Tom has now written some good docs for it -- that's an example of the kind of improvement I'm talking about. Having documents describing "how to add a new index type", "how to add a new planner node", "how to add a new DML/DDL command", and so forth would be cool. -Neil ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
