Subject: Fix imprecise documentation of random(): it never returns 1.0.
X-Git-Url: http://git.postgresql.org/gitweb/static/gitweb.js?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cec33141f6f85ffaf901fe6b7ebbdb50b0b1bc74;p=users%2Fsimon%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.
