[DOCS] Useful documentation removed from 9.5 docs
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/textsearch-indexes.html Description: I was looking for the section that provides advice on which type of index (GIN vs GIST) to choose, and discovered that it has been removed from the 9.5/9.6 documentation. Here's the 9.4 version: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/textsearch-indexes.html Compare with the 9.5 version: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/textsearch-indexes.html The whole section of bullet-points describing considerations for choosing the index type were removed. Instead, this manual page now talks mostly about implementation details, internal details about how the GIST index internally operates, and on - these may be relevant to somebody, but they're likely not very useful to the average user trying to select the appropriate index for a given use-case. I'm puzzled as to why this information was removed. One has to find the 9.4 version of the page via Google, or an article on StackOverflow, to get this useful information. -- Sent via pgsql-docs mailing list ([email protected]) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-docs

That was changed because the advice was obsolete.

Both OWNED BY and OWNER TO are parts of the ALTER SEQUENCE command and written and described on the page you were reading when you filled out the form. Note that our current release is 9.5 with 10.0 in beta. Our search results have a tendency to show old versions (you were reading 8.4) so ensuring that you are on current stuff helps.

For better and worse this is a freely available open-source product. We don't have a mandate that every feature have 6 examples documented for its use. The volume of questions raised about ALTER SEQUENCE is so low that the motivation to dream up and add new examples just isn't there. If a patch was submitted, though, it would likely be committed.
