DocBook XML is superficially compatible with DocBook SGML but has a slightly stricter DTD that we have been violating in a few cases. Although XSLT doesn't care whether the document is valid, the style sheets don't necessarily process invalid documents correctly, so we need to work toward fixing this. This first commit moves the indexterms in refentry elements to an allowed position. It has no impact on the output.

<title>Compatibility</title>

<para>
|

The <command>DROP TRIGGER</command> statement in
|
|
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> is incompatible with the SQL
|
|
standard. In the SQL standard, trigger names are not local to
|
|
tables, so the command is simply <literal>DROP TRIGGER
|
|
<replaceable>name</replaceable></literal>.
