PostgreSQL 9.3.1 Documentation

There are at least two parts labeled with a Roman number I:

I. Tutorial

Those who set up and manage their own server should also read Part III.

Does one need to read "I" to find out that one needs to read "III" to manage an own server? If not, then isn't it superfluous is? And yes, it is in the http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/preface.html - redundancy bloats the documentation.

1.4. Accessing a Database

II. PostgreSQL Client Applications

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/static/reference-client.html
