Subject: pgsql: doc: Fix glossary entry for data checksums workers
Date: Sat, 01 Aug 2026 19:42:47 +0000
Message-ID: <E1wqFbb-00000001GaC-2rDf@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

doc: Fix glossary entry for data checksums workers

The glossary entry for data checksums workers incorrectly stated that
they were auxiliary processes, but they are implemented as background
workers.  Fix, and while there, simplify the entry by combining the
worker and launcher into a single glossary term.  Backpatch down to
v19 where online checksums were introduced.
