Bruce Momjian 36da236eb3 In 'Joins between classes' in Section 5 of the tutorial we have, in
the first paragraph:

    As an example, say we wish to find all the records that
    are in the  temperature  range  of  other records. In
    effect, we need to compare the temp_lo and temp_hi
    attributes of each EMP instance to the temp_lo and
    temp_hi  attributes of all other EMP instances.

I believe that EMP should read WEATHER, as the example query that
follows joins WEATHER to itself.

EMP is often used in Oracle examples.

Regards,
Graham

BTW: new document looks very good!
And the new configure/build process seems much better then before!

Thanks!

Tom Lane b44e46cfce Remove error check that disallowed setval() on a sequence with cache
value greater than one.  The behavior this sought to disallow doesn't
seem any less confusing than the other behaviors of cached sequences.
Improve wording of some error messages, too.
Update documentation accordingly.  Also add an explanation that
aborted transactions do not roll back their nextval() calls; this
seems to be a FAQ, so it ought to be mentioned here...
