The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:

Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/18/functions-formatting.html
Description:

Hello,

I'm just learning SQL/Postgres for the first time, so please forgive me if
this is an incorrect assumption.

I've just learnt through seeing the solution to an exercise using the
TO_CHAR function, that minutes are referred to as "mi" as opposed to "mm".

As such, whilst looking through this page
(https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/functions-formatting.html) as shown
in the Udemy course I'm following, I noticed that the notes "OF" state
"time-zone offset from UTC (HH or HH:MM)", which I believe should be
"time-zone offset from UTC (HH or HH:MI)".

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Phil
