Peter - agreed, those are pretty basic functions. I'm thinking more about stuff like the date/time functions-- abstime(), age(), interval(), that sort of thing. I see interval() in the grid and notice that it has the word 'reltime'-- is that a data type? How is it used? Does interval() accept any other types of parameters? How would I use this? It's a bit like being thrown into a cold swimming pool-- I can certainly figure it out, given enough time and experimentation, but I'm just surprised that it's not more detailed. This is not bagging on the documentation folks as much as it is an expression of my surprise that it's not more detailed. Postgreql is so popular online that I came to it expecting something more along the lines of the online docs for PHP or MySQL. best, Eric -----Original Message----- From: Peter Eisentraut [mailto:peter_e@gmx.net] Sent: Wednesday, January 03, 2001 9:33 AM To: Eric Mueller Cc: 'PostgreSQL general mailing list' Subject: Re: [GENERAL] RE: RE: Re: MySQL and PostgreSQL speed compare Eric Mueller writes: > I'm baffled by what seems to be a lack of detailed documentation for > something so fundamental as the built-in functions. Just to add a particular point, in addition to Vince's excellent general points, as the one who was last to update the function documentation: The reason that there's no "detailed" documentation is that there are no details. How much can you write about round(), avg(), or current_user? -- Peter Eisentraut peter_e@gmx.net http://yi.org/peter-e/
