Thread: doc: index items for pg_stat_progress_xxx views
Hi, The index items for pg_stat_progress_xxx views point to the "Viewing Statistics" section, but not to the dedicated section (e.g., "ANALYZE Progress Reporting") for each view. IMO this is very inconvenient when finding the section describing each pg_stat_progress_xxx view, from the index. So what about adding new pointer to the section for each view in the index? Patch attached. BTW, other stats views have both pointers in the index. Regards, -- Fujii Masao Advanced Computing Technology Center Research and Development Headquarters NTT DATA CORPORATION

When setting an <indexterm>, it's better to set the zone attribute to indicate which section it's associated with. For example, <indexterm zone="analyze-progress-reporting"> <primary>pg_stat_progress_analyze</primary> </indexterm> Regards, Shinya Kato

I was thinking that the zone attribute doesn't need to be specified because the indexterm is defined under the section that the indexterm tries to point to. You can see the same situation at, for example, the section and indexterm of pg_stat_database. If I'm missing something, could you tell me why the zone attribute is necessary in this case?

I looked at lines 132-137 of monitoring.sgml, and I saw that zone is set for indexterm after <sect1>. However, I haven't found the zone set for indexterm after <sect2>, so you may be right.

So you agree not to add zone attribute in this case? Regards, -- Fujii Masao Advanced Computing Technology Center Research and Development Headquarters NTT DATA CORPORATION

Yes, I think it's nice. Regards, Shinya Kato
