The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/sql-select.html
Description:

Regarding the TABLESAMPLE documentation on [1], I think in the following
sentence

> If REPEATABLE is not given then a new random sample is selected for each
query.

the word "sample" should be "seed". Of course it results in a new random
sample as well, but IMHO this sentence is about what happens to the seed in
case REPEATABLE (seed) is omitted.

Best regards,
