Re: [BUGS] BUG #9652: inet types don't support min/max

Hi Haribabu,

Sorry for being late. Thank you for sharing updated patch, sgml changes
seems not working i.e.

postgres=# select max('192.168.1.5', '192.168.1.4');
> ERROR: function max(unknown, unknown) does not exist
> LINE 1: select max('192.168.1.5', '192.168.1.4');

I would suggest the following or similar changes e.g.

doc/src/sgml/func.sgml

> <function>max(<replaceable
> class="parameter">expression</replaceable>)</function>

Other than this patch looks good to me. Thanks.
