Re: [HACKERS] New man pages

Hi Thomas,

I'm looking at man pages, and I find it very good. Now we have only one
documentation's version. Nice job.
There's only a little thing that I would like to recall your attention;
I see whenever the name Postgres instead of
PostgreSQL. Is there a reason to continue to call it Postgres in the
docs ?

UPDATE(l)                                               UPDATE(l)

NAME      UPDATE - Replaces values of columns in a table
