VI. Reference

The entries in this Reference are meant to provide in reasonable length an authoritative, complete, and formal summary about their respective subjects. More information about the use of PostgreSQL, in narrative, tutorial, or example form, may be found in other parts of this book. See the cross-references listed on each reference page.

The reference entries are also available as traditional "man" pages.
