Subject: Fix misleading references to columns in GRANT/REVOKE summaries
Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2007 16:46:03 -0700
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
Folks,
Per a question Alexey Parshin asked in the IRC channel, I'm attaching
a patch to the GRANT and REVOKE syntax summaries which replaces the
misleading word "column" with "parameter." "Column" is misleading
because it could be read to imply a column-level GRANT/REVOKE, which
we don't have yet.
Cheers,
D
