PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the file HISTORY. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.

Get rid of the per-column documentation of underlying functions, which did far more to clutter the view descriptions than it did to be helpful, and was rather incomplete and typo-ridden anyway. Instead suggest that people consult the definitions of the standard views to see the underlying functions. The older functions for obtaining individual facts about backends are now somewhat obsoleted by pg_stat_get_activity, which means that they are not documented by any standard view. So I put that information into a separate table. (Maybe we should just deprecate them instead?) In passing, fix a couple more documentation errors.
