There seem to be a lot of problems with the documentation. Should I
just post them here and some magical person will fix them?
For instance, the "CREATE TRIGGER" manpage contains the sentence:
The trigger will be associated with the relation
relname and will execute the specified function funcname.
however, that does not match the declared syntax. "relation relname"
should be "table <i>table</i>".
The PostgreSQL ODBC FAQ contains several problems in the following
sections:
General #3: The URL is wrong. It should be
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/odbc/index.html instead.
Advanced #1: The answer contains the sentence, "The hassle is that every
time you run the query in Access 97 it prompts you with a database
connection dialog." This is wrong. Posters to the FAQ should read the
FAQ, as "Microsoft Products #4" has an easy solution (this problem affects
all SQL-pass through queries regardles of the RDMS used).
Advanced #2: The answer is missing something. "Recoginze Unique Indexes"
must also be switched on in the Advanced Driver Options for primary keys
to be detected automatically.
Advanced #5: The answer contains the sentence, "This will probably not be
necessary in Postgres 6.4 since it will be added." Apparently it has not
been added, as I just experienced it in 7.0.2.
