Subject: [PATCH] DOCS: Fix inconsistent text description punctuation in UPDATE FOR PORTION OF
Date: Mon, 25 May 2026 17:32:58 +0800
Message-ID: <[email protected]> (raw)
Hi,
I noticed an inconsistency in the documentation between UPDATE and DELETE
commands regarding the FOR PORTION OF clause description.
In doc/src/sgml/ref/update.sgml (line 169), the description reads:
"must be in the form ( portion ) where portion is an expression..."
In doc/src/sgml/ref/delete.sgml (line 166), it reads:
"must be in the form ( portion ), where portion is an expression..."
The UPDATE documentation misses a comma before "where" that DELETE has.
For consistency, add the comma to the UPDATE documentation to match DELETE.
I have recompiled the documentation and verified that
share/doc/postgresql/html/sql-update.html and
share/doc/postgresql/html/sql-delete.html are now consistent.
Best regards,
Zizhuan Liu
