Subject: 7.2.1. The FROM Clause
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2026 09:58:36 +0000
Message-ID: <178125831604.1285960.8250607197280951685@wrigleys.postgresql.org> (raw)

The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/18/queries-table-expressions.html
Description:

I have a question regarding:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/queries-table-expressions.html#QUERIES-FROM
Is the following sentence from the docu correct?
"Instead of writing ONLY before the table name, you can write * after the
table name to explicitly specify that descendant tables are included."

I read it like you can use "* after the table name" instead of "ONLY before
the table name" which seems wrong.

Thanks
Jochen
