Thread: Documentation for "PostgreSQL 9"?
Why is there documentation for "PostgreSQL 9", here: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9/static/index.html 9.0 also exists, but this came up first in Google. Isn't this prone to create confusion about the version numbering?

It should really only show up as such if there's a link on our site to it somewhere, and I can't find it - and thus cna't remove it...b -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Ah, cute. PHP automatically converts "9.0" to "9" when it's entered as a decimal. I guess that shouldn't be entirely surprising :-) I've changed it to a string now, and am rebuilding the website mirrors to get this right. Should be working in a couple of hours (yes, docs builds are slow) -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/
seems to be ok now. maybe Peter Eisentraut can cross check again? - Martin - On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 4:35 PM, Magnus Hagander <magnus@hagander.net> wrote: > On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 18:15, Martin Atukunda <matlads@gmail.com> wrote: >> On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 7:47 PM, Magnus Hagander <magnus@hagander.net> wrote: >>> On Fri, Dec 10, 2010 at 23:55, Joshua D.
