    The first few chapters are written so they can be understood
    without prerequisite knowledge, so new users who need to set
    up their own server can begin their exploration. The rest of this
    part is about tuning and management; that material
    assumes that the reader is familiar with the general use of
    the <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> database system.  Readers are
    encouraged review the <xref linkend="tutorial"/> and <xref
    linkend="sql"/> parts for additional information.

  <title>Client Interfaces</title>

  <partintro>
   <para>
    This part describes the client programming interfaces distributed
    with <productname>PostgreSQL</productname>.  Each of these chapters can be
    read independently.  There are many external programming
    interfaces for client programs that are distributed separately. They
    contain their own documentation (<xref linkend="external-projects"/>
    lists some of the more popular ones).  Readers of this part should be
    familiar with using <acronym>SQL</acronym> to manipulate
    and query the database (see <xref linkend="sql"/>) and of course
    with the programming language of their choice.

  <title>Server Programming</title>

  <partintro>
   <para>
    This part is about extending the server functionality with
    user-defined functions, data types, triggers, etc.  These are
    advanced topics which should be approached only after all
    the other user documentation about <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> has
    been understood.  Later chapters in this part describe the server-side
    programming languages available in the
    <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> distribution as well as
    general issues concerning server-side programming.  It
    is essential to read at least the earlier sections of <xref
    linkend="extend"/> (covering functions) before diving into the
    material about server-side programming.
