Hey Robert,
Hmm. The existing text might be redundant, but I don't think it's
inaccurate. Since the rest of the section alternates back and forth
between the two terms, it seems like this might help to remind the
reader that they are effectively synonymous.
I am the reader and just a user of libpq, not a guru :-).
I must admit that this is a trifle, but I think it's indeed inaccurate.
Also I think, that it's inaccurate to call one function PQnfields()
and another PQftablecol(). Yes, terms "field" and "column" are
interchangeable, but (personally) I don't clearly understand why two
functions named not monotonous.
But all of the above is my personal point of view. So, just ignore it
if you don't like it :-)
Regards,
Dmitriy
