Message-ID: <E1uk8jv-001ICl-2K@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)
doc: add float as an alias for double precision.
Although the "Floating-Point Types" section says that "float" data
type is taken to mean "double precision", this information was not
reflected in the data type table that lists all data type aliases.
