I think the problem with that is if someone's scrolling down the page looking for a function name alphabetically, they probably won't find it if it's been bundled into a group. If they did want to see a list of aggregate functions, they already have the option to look up "aggregate functions > built-in" in the index. > For some reason I don't like <primary>average</><secondary>avg</>, but > then I don't like the current <primary>average</> either. We could just replace that with <primary>avg</>, because at least then it can be found by a browser's Find functionality. -- Thom Brown Twitter: @darkixion IRC (freenode): dark_ixion Registered Linux user: #516935 -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs
