Thread: BUG #17238: Link to "Using EXPLAIN" in the "EXPLAIN" documentation
The following bug has been logged on the website: Bug reference: 17238 Logged by: Tie Tyt Email address: tietyt@gmail.com PostgreSQL version: 14.0 Operating system: Mac OS Big Sur Description: "Explain" documentation: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/sql-explain.html "Using EXPLAIN" documentation: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/using-explain.html The "Explain" documentation does not have a link to "Using EXPLAIN" anywhere in its documentation. These are highly related, and likely an interesting followup topic for anyone reading the former. Therefore, I think the explain documentation should link to the "Using EXPLAIN" documentation -- maybe as a "to learn more..." link.

You didn't read it carefully. In the Outputs Section there is a link to section
14.1 that is exactly the "Using Explain" that you mentioned.
