From 2b18743614bb526e5a49a542c9c80c96668639cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Wed, 15 Feb 2017 15:41:09 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Doc: fix syntax synopsis for INSERT ... ON CONFLICT DO UPDATE. Commit 906bfcad7 adjusted the syntax synopsis for UPDATE, but missed the fact that the INSERT synopsis now contains a duplicate of that. In passing, improve wording and markup about using a table alias to dodge the conflict with use of "excluded" as a special table name. --- doc/src/sgml/ref/insert.sgml | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/src/sgml/ref/insert.sgml b/doc/src/sgml/ref/insert.sgml index 9339826818c..521216b5d52 100644 --- a/doc/src/sgml/ref/insert.sgml +++ b/doc/src/sgml/ref/insert.sgml @@ -36,7 +36,7 @@ INSERT INTO table_name [ AS column_name = { expression | DEFAULT } | - ( column_name [, ...] ) = ( { expression | DEFAULT } [, ...] ) | + ( column_name [, ...] ) = [ ROW ] ( { expression | DEFAULT } [, ...] ) | ( column_name [, ...] ) = ( sub-SELECT ) } [, ...] [ WHERE condition ] @@ -174,9 +174,9 @@ INSERT INTO table_name [ AS table_name.
