Documentation of Concepts

Hi everybody,
maybe you have followed the tread before about migratiing from Oracle
to Postgres. In there I quoted a Document from Oracle called
"Oracle Concepts". In there, Oracle explains exactly, what goes on
under the hood of Oracle.
(Like How they handle concurrency, locking...)
Is there such a document for Postgres already?
Cheers,
Dani

There are some papers on the PostgreSQL web site, in the developers
section, and of course there is the source code, plus some stuff in the
admin docs.

You will find it in the following links. It may not be as polished as
Oracle's books, but still good.
