Personally I like to use html docs, and it would be good if the
documentation were downloadable from the postgresql website in other
formats, for convenience...
But, what I use is this, which works pretty well:
(e.g. to get the 8.1 dosc)
mkdir postgresql
cd postgresql
wget -r -nH -l 10 -k -np
http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/interactive/index.html
... then after it all downloads:
open the file docs/8.1/interactive/index.html
in your web browser.
e.g.
links docs/8.1/interactive/index.html
HTML is "text", so you can search using grep e.g.
grep -r "ALTER TABLE .* ADD COLUMN" docs/8.1
Thats the way i do too. A huge pdf is often not very helpful. In my
personal case i programm often in a train, using my laptop. Searching a
PDF with more than 1.000 pages really hits my battery. With html-files i
could preselect the items to search.
Also it's possible to import the html-files in a postgres-db and using
fulltext-search. ;)
