Hi Jim, The code has been fixed by Bruce in response to my bug#2851 ( http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-bugs/2006-12/msg00191.php).
BTW, I don't know how to make sure that the effect of a doc patch looks fine in a browser. I mean, how to view the doc/src/sgml/*.sgml in a browser, nicely formatted as we see on our website! I wish PostgreSQL community a very Happy New Year... Go ahead and give closed-source a tough time :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] gmail | hotmail | yahoo }.com On 12/31/06, Jim C.
