Bug reference:      14232
Logged by:          Hicham Aouda
Email address:      aouda.h@me.com <javascript:;>
PostgreSQL version: 9.5.3
Operating system:   All
Description:

On page 1151  43.3.4. Composite Types
of  the pdf documentation for 9.5.3
I suspect a mistake:

it should be :

CREATE TYPE  employee AS (
name text,
salary integer,
age integer );

and not

CREATE TABLE  employee (
name text,
salary integer,
age integer );



It's functionally correct.  Every table you create automatically has a =
type of the same name and structure.
