Hi,
I just noticed a tiny but annoying documentation bug:
pg_hba.conf (/etc/postgresql/8.1/main/pg_hba.conf on my Ubuntu system)
begins with this comment:
# PostgreSQL Client Authentication Configuration File
# ===================================================
#
# Refer to the PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide, chapter "Client
# Authentication" for a complete description. A short synopsis
# follows.
However, there _is_ no PostgreSQL Administrator's Guide; as of 7.4,
the PostgreSQL Guides were combined into a single Manual. So the
comment is somewhat misleading.
It took me a few minutes of head-scratching, local system searching,
and web searching to ascertain this. Fixing the bug would save
future pg newbies from this fate. :)
Thanks for helping make PostgreSQL, whoever you are; you rock. :)

choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match
