Subject: Fix imprecise documentation of random(): it never returns 1.0.
X-Git-Tag: REL8_5_ALPHA1~16
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=26a90c654f19263449a70e24a3a7bc3df1908121;p=thirdparty%2Fpostgresql.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.
