The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/11/rowtypes.html Description:
1. Replace this: "...the whitespace will be ignored if the field type is integer, but not if it is text." with this: "...the whitespace will be ignored if the field type is integer, but not if it is a character data type like text." ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Find this: "...you can write double quotes around any individual field value. You must do so if the field value would otherwise confuse..." Insert this between the two sentences, i.e. after "...any individual field value." and before "You must do so if...": << Notice that, as previously stated, the value for a field whose data type is text, varchar, or char starts with the charater that immediately follows the opening parenthesis or comma deliminator, and ends with the character that immediately precedes the comma deliminator or closing parenthesis. This means that when you choose to surround a character value with double quotes, the opening double quote must immediately follow the starting deliminator and the closing double quote must immediately precede the closing deliminator, like this: '("hello world")' If you don't follow this rule and write, for example, this: '( "hello world" )' then you will not get an error. However, the rules for the outcome are undefined and you should simply avoid doing this. >>
