PG Doc comments form
Дата:
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website: Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/15/indexes-expressional.html Description: Hi, nice to meet you. I found incorrect link to https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-functional.html on this page https://www.postgresql.org/docs/7.3/indexes-functional.html. The text is "...the same page for the current version...". Is "functional index" in version 7.3 (or earlier) equivalent to the "Indexes on Expressions" in the current version? If so, is correct URL https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/indexes-expressional.html ? Would you check and correct it? Thank you in advance.

PG 7.3 has been out of support for more than fifteen years. Nobody is going to correct any errors that may exist in those doc pages. They're just there for historical reference. regards, tom lane

This is actually not an error in the 7.3 docs (which we clearly wouldn't address) but an error in pgweb in the warning for unsupported versions; it assumes it can link to the same page in /current. The relevant code is: This documentation is for an unsupported version of PostgreSQL.<br/> You may want to view the same page for the <a href="/docs/current/{{page.file}}" title="PostgreSQL {{page.version.display_version}} - {{page.title}}">current</a> This may well hit us in just-out-of-support versions which are still in use, but until there is a report from a more recent version than 7.3 there isn't much cause for concern I reckon. -- Daniel Gustafsson

Ah, good point. And it does know that the page doesn't exist in /current, because the "same page in other versions" list just above doesn't include that. Maybe we could have the link to "current" point to the docs top level instead of the specific page in such cases? Or simpler, just omit the "You may want to view the same page..." sentence altogether. regards, tom lane

Or simpler, just omit > the "You may want to view the same page..." sentence altogether. Since this particular page doesn't exist in any supported version, the text in the box is actually wrong twice: "You may want to view the same page for the current version, or one of the other supported versions listed above instead." Since we know when rendering the page which versions it does exist in we could set one of three template variables: exist_in_current exist_in_supported exist_in_unsupported Depending on which is set we can choose the right text for the box. That being said, we should probably move this to -www for exposure among those who actually know the pgweb backend. -- Daniel Gustafsson
