Tom Lane a87d7801c2 Doc: improve partitioning discussion in ddl.sgml.
This started with the intent to explain that range upper bounds
are exclusive, which previously you could only find out by reading
the CREATE TABLE man page.  But I soon found that section 5.11
really could stand a fair amount of editorial attention.  It's
apparently been revised several times without much concern for
overall flow, nor careful copy-editing.

Back-patch to v11, which is as far as the patch goes easily.

Per gripe from Edson Richter.  Thanks to David Johnston for review.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
