  1. [PATCH] DOCS: Fix inconsistent text description punctuation in UPDATE FOR PORTION OF

    X-MAN <44973863@qq.com> — 2026-05-25T09:32:58Z

    Hi,
I noticed an inconsistency in the documentation between UPDATE and DELETE&nbsp;
commands regarding the FOR PORTION OF clause description.&nbsp;


In doc/src/sgml/ref/update.sgml (line 169), the description reads:
&nbsp; "must be in the form ( portion ) where portion is an expression..."&nbsp;


In doc/src/sgml/ref/delete.sgml (line 166), it reads:
&nbsp;"must be&nbsp;in the form ( portion ), where portion is an expression..."&nbsp;


The UPDATE documentation misses a comma before "where" that DELETE has.
For consistency,&nbsp;add the comma to the UPDATE documentation to match DELETE.


I have recompiled the documentation and verified that
share/doc/postgresql/html/sql-update.html and
share/doc/postgresql/html/sql-delete.html are now consistent.


Best regards,
Zizhuan Liu
