Hi,

The descriptions of pg_class.relminmxid and pg_database.datminmxid
have some minor problems in the doc. Seems the attached patch needs
to be applied.

Regards,

Looks reasonable.  I'm not sure about the term "multitransaction"
anymore; we use "multixact" elsewhere (notably in the section that
explains freezing, in the maintenance chapter).

Make sure to backpatch to 9.3 ...

Yes, we seem to have priority use of "multixact". OTOH, I found that
"multitransaction" is also used elsewhere, for example, in storage.sgml
(description of pg_multixact directory), pg_resetxlog.sgml and pgrowlocks.sgml.
Maybe it's better to use "multixact" even there...

Anyway I will push the fix with the term "multixact".
