Tom Lane b6423e92ab Doc: fix ancient mistake, or at least obsolete info, in rules example. 
The example of expansion of multiple views claimed that the resulting
subquery nest would not get fully flattened because of an aggregate
function.  There's no aggregate in the example, though, only a user
defined function confusingly named MIN().  In a modern server, the
reason for the non-flattening is that MIN() is volatile, but I'm
unsure whether that was true back when this text was written.

Let's reduce the confusion level by using LEAST() instead (which
we didn't have at the time this example was created).  And then
we can just say that the planner will flatten the sub-queries, so
the rewrite system doesn't have to.

Noted by Paul Jungwirth.  This text is old enough to vote, so
back-patch to all supported branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================

This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here:

	https://www.postgresql.org/download

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
https://www.postgresql.org/download/.  For more information look at our
web site located at https://www.postgresql.org/.
