Thread: A few string fixed

Hello,

while translating the new PostgreSQL 9.3 strings I've found a couple
questionable. Patches attached.

Cheers,

Hmm ... I agree with the MultiXactId->MultiXactIds changes, but not with
this one:

oran INSTEAD OF DELETE trigger.")));

oran INSTEAD OF DELETE trigger.")));
 

We use the phrase "updatable view", we don't say "deletable view"
(and this usage is also found in the SQL standard).  We could possibly
make the message say "To make the view updatable in this way", or
"... for this purpose", but that seems a bit long-winded to me.

Ok, I'd just thought it was a pasto.
