Subject: Fix imprecise documentation of random(): it never returns 1.0.
X-Git-Tag: REL8_2_14~10
X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/static/gitweb.js?a=commitdiff_plain;h=0d1cbe24035d78d9cd4213cf19b1bbb976dc97f6;p=users%2Fheikki%2Fpostgres.git

Fix imprecise documentation of random(): it never returns 1.0.
This was changed in 8.2 but the documentation was not corrected.
Per gripe from Sam Mason.
