-       If you have a column of type <type>smallint</type> or
-       <type>bigint</type> with an index, you may encounter problems
-       getting the system to use that index.  For instance, a clause of
-       the form
- <programlisting>
- ... WHERE smallint_column = 42
- </programlisting>
-       will not use an index, because the system assigns type
-       <type>integer</type> to the constant 42, and
-       <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> currently
-       cannot use an index when two different data types are involved.  A
-       workaround is to single-quote the constant, thus:
- <programlisting>
- ... WHERE smallint_column = '42'
- </programlisting>
-       This will cause the system to delay type resolution and will
-       assign the right type to the constant.
