Note: this message is clearly AI-generated to me, and these are usually super sloppy. (I'd suggest to stop posting semi-generated messages as they tend to be made of mostly unhelpful contents as they lack judgement and context, but there's no rule against that AFAIK around here, as well.)
Fair point. I can read technical documentation but lack English communication skills, so I rely on AI for translation. Actually, AI is what enabled me to start contributing to PostgreSQL in the first place. I'll try to make future posts more readable.
