From 313cbdc7f666a5af2c977463faf8a0eb06011b98 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Peter Geoghegan Date: Wed, 8 Aug 2018 12:56:11 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] Doc: Correct description of amcheck example query. The amcheck documentation incorrectly claimed that its example query verifies every catalog index in the database. In fact, the query only verifies the 10 largest indexes (as determined by pg_class.relpages). Adjust the description accordingly. Backpatch: 10-, where contrib/amcheck was introduced. --- doc/src/sgml/amcheck.sgml | 20 +++++++++----------- 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/amcheck.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/amcheck.sgml index 66a0232e24..8bb60d5c2d 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/amcheck.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/amcheck.sgml @@ -35,7 +35,7 @@ functions. - amcheck functions may be used only by superusers. + amcheck functions may only be used by superusers. @@ -83,14 +83,13 @@ ORDER BY c.relpages DESC LIMIT 10; | pg_amop_fam_strat_index | 5 (10 rows) - This example shows a session that performs verification of every - catalog index in the database test.
