Documentation

PostgreSQL has four primary documentation formats:

• Plain text, for pre-installation information
• HTML, for on-line browsing and reference
• PDF, for printing
• man pages, for quick reference. Additionally, a number of plain-text README files can be found throughout the PostgreSQL source tree, documenting various implementation issues.

HTML documentation and man pages are part of a standard distribution and are installed by default. PDF format documentation is available separately for download.
