There was some confusion around how to adjust the n_distinct estimates for partitioned tables. Here we try and clarify that n_distinct_inherited needs to be adjusted rather than n_distinct. Also fix some slightly misleading text which was talking about table size rather than table rows, fix a grammatical error, and adjust some text which indicated that ANALYZE was performing calculations based on the n_distinct settings. Really it's the query planner that does this and ANALYZE only stores the overridden n_distinct estimate value in pg_statistic. Author: David Rowley <dgrowleyml@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: David G.

Representation of non-ASCII characters
--------------------------------------
Find non-ASCII characters using:
grep --recursive --color='auto' -P '[\x80-\xFF]' .
Convert to HTML4 named entity (&) escapes
-----------------------------------------
We support several output formats:
* html (supports all Unicode characters)
* man (supports all Unicode characters)
* pdf (supports only Latin-1 characters)
* info
While some output formatting tools support all Unicode characters,
others only support Latin-1 characters. Specifically, the PDF rendering
engine can only display Latin-1 characters; non-Latin-1 Unicode
characters are displayed as "###".
Therefore, in the SGML files, we can only use Latin-1 characters. We
can use UTF8 representations of Latin-1 characters, or HTML entities of
Latin-1 characters, e.g., Álvaro.
Do not use UTF numeric character escapes (&#nnn;).
When building the PDF docs, problem characters will appear as warnings.
