Thread: doc: pg_trgm missing description for GUC"pg_trgm.strict_word_similarity_threshold"

Hi

Commit be8a7a68662 added custom GUC "pg_trgm.strict_word_similarity_threshold",
but omitted to document this in the section "GUC Parameters"; proposed patch
attached.

I suggest backpatching to Pg11, where it was introduced.


Regards

Ian Barwick

Indeed.

BTW while looking GUC variables defined in trgm_op.c the operators in
each short description seems not correct; there is an extra percent
sign. Should we also fix them?

postgres(1:43133)=# select name, short_desc from pg_settings where
name like 'pg_trgm%';
                   name                   |                  short_desc
------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
 pg_trgm.similarity_threshold             | Sets the threshold used by
the %% operator.
 pg_trgm.strict_word_similarity_threshold | Sets the threshold used by
the <<%% operator.
 pg_trgm.word_similarity_threshold        | Sets the threshold used by
the <%% operator.

Both of you are right here, and the addition documentation looks fine
to me (except the indentation).  The fix for the parameter
descriptions can be back-patched safely as they would reload correctly
once the version is updated.  Or is that not worth bothering except on
HEAD?  Thoughts?

I did notice the double percent signs but my brain skipped over them
assuming they were translatable strings, thanks for catching that.

The indentation in the additional documentation seems fine to me, it's
the section for the preceding GUC which is offset one column to the right.
Patch attached for that.

Yup, they would appear the first time one of the pg_trgm functions is called
in a session after the new object file is installed.

Personally I don't think it's that critical, but not bothered either way.
Presumably no-one has complained so far anyway (I only chanced upon the missing
GUC description because I was poking about looking for examples of custom
GUC handling...)

I think it worth maintaining consistent documentation and GUC
descriptions in back branches.  So, I'm +1 for backpatching.

I'm going to commit all 3 patches (documentation, GUC description,
documentation indentation) on no objections.

Alexander, this commit is ok for 11 and so. However, GUC
strict_word_similarity_threshold does not exist in 9.6 and 10. The
attached patch revert this part. It should apply cleanly in 9.6 and
10.
