Subject: pgsql: Doc: fix misleading syntax synopses for targetlists.
Date: Thu, 25 Jul 2024 23:52:23 +0000
Message-ID: <E1sX8Fz-001Dn1-3U@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Doc: fix misleading syntax synopses for targetlists.

In the syntax synopses for SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, etc,
SELECT ... and RETURNING ... targetlists were missing { ... }
braces around an OR (|) operator.  That allows misinterpretation
which could lead to confusion.

David G. Johnston, per gripe from masondeanm@aol.com.
