Dave E Martin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) reports a bug with a severity of 4
The lower the number the more severe it is.
Short Description
bool type could be better documented
Long Description
The documentation in both 7.1 and 7.0.3 talks about the bool type but both fail to
actually mention the name(s) of the type in the section on booleans.
presumably its called 'boolean' based on the description, but it could be clearer. one
has to refer to table 3-1 to make sure. (for instance, the description of 'money'
makes it clear via the table, that the type is called 'money'). perhaps if the first
sentence were changed from
"Postgres supports the SQL99 boolean type" to "Postgres supports the SQL99
<BOLD>boolean</BOLD> type" (or quotes or something; whenever its being used as a name,
and not to represent "concept of true/false state"). Its a bit like talking about a
car which is named car... its obvious to the writer, but to the reader they just
assume "concept of automobile" whenever they hear car, and never realize that its
actually named "car".
