Keith Gabryelski submitted this comment for the docs, which I rejected
as a comment, but think still needs correcting in the docs:

the line:
When a table is read, the rows will appear in random order, unless
sorting is explicitly requested

should be:
When a table is read, the rows will appear in an undefined order,
unless sorting is explicitly requested.

This applies to: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/static/ddl-basics.html
