Welcome to the "PostgreSQL 8.4 Official Documentation - Volume IV. Reference"! After many years of development, PostgreSQL has become feature-complete in many areas. This release shows a targeted approach to adding features (e.g., authentication, monitoring, space reuse), and adds capabilities defined in the later SQL standards.

PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) developed at the University of California at Berkeley Computer Science Department. This comprehensive reference manual consists of 7 books. This is Volume 5 with the main part "Reference - SQL Commands." To keep it consistent with the digital PostgreSQL manual, the references and page numbers cover all volumes as it were one. Therefore please note that you probably want to have all volumes. This book is based on PostgreSQL 10
