Subject: Adding a Column documentation is misleading
Date: Wed, 06 Nov 2019 03:24:44 +0000
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/ddl-alter.html
Description:
In 5.6.1. Adding a Column, there is a kind of example 'ALTER TABLE products
ADD COLUMN description text;'
The words 'description' and 'text' are misleading -- as according to the
formal documentation of the SQL command
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/12/sql-altertable.html), they should be
'column_name' and 'data_type'.
A similar problem exists for removing a column, and other actions.
