Bug reference:      12889
Logged by:          Adalbert Delong
Email address:      herzir232@seznam.cz
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.0
Operating system:   Debian 7.8
Description:

Sorry, I don't know where documentation errors can be reported.
Documentation PDF for PSQL 9.1, page 329 (394 in pdf), subsection 13.2,
table 13-1 and the paragraph following give contradictory information about
isolation levels.

You are referring to this paragraph and this table, which have not
changed for a couple of years:
- 9.1: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/transaction-iso.html#MVCC-ISOLEVEL-TABLE
- HEAD: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/static/transaction-iso.html#MVCC-ISOLEVEL-TABLE
What is the contradictory information you have in mind? The table
refers to the isolation levels that are part of the SQL standard,
while the paragraph defines how Postgres uses them, and at quick
glance I am seeing nothing wrong with them.
