Hi, I didn't think of including you in this suggestion.
Or the pdsql-docs was not the right list to post? I didn't want to mix it
with the GROUP BY DISTINCT patch.

Please check my suggestion.

Best regards
Pantelis Theodosiou

Hi Vik,

The patch seems quite ready, I have just two comments.

1) Shouldn't this add another <indexterm> for DISTINCT, somewhere in the
documentation? Now the index points just to the SELECT DISTINCT part.

.....

After reading the above thread in hackers, I noticed that the index does
not point to aggrgeate functions either and DISTINCT is not mentioned in
the aggregate functions page either:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-aggregate.html
Shouldn't it be mentioned with an example of COUNT(DISTINCT ...)  or
aggregate_function(DISTINCT ...) in general ?

Best regards

Sorry, I'm not reading pgsql-docs very often, so I missed the post.
Yeah, we should probably add an indexterm to the other places too.

regards
