a134ee3379 Update documentation on may/can/might: 
Standard English uses "may", "can", and "might" in different ways:

        may - permission, "You may borrow my rake."

        can - ability, "I can lift that log."

        might - possibility, "It might rain today."

Unfortunately, in conversational English, their use is often mixed, as
in, "You may use this variable to do X", when in fact, "can" is a better
choice.  Similarly, "It may crash" is better stated, "It might crash".

Also update two error messages mentioned in the documenation to match.

595ed2a855 Make the behavior of HAVING without GROUP BY conform to the SQL spec. 
Formerly, if such a clause contained no aggregate functions we mistakenly
treated it as equivalent to WHERE.  Per spec it must cause the query to
be treated as a grouped query of a single group, the same as appearance
of aggregate functions would do.  Also, the HAVING filter must execute
after aggregate function computation even if it itself contains no
aggregate functions.

db57396c1f Alter query.sgml to mention PostgreSQL as an ORDBMS. This falls in line 
with advocacy and 'portal' websites.

Link to createdb / dropdb from the tutorial page about create / dropdb.
A pair of notes were asking about more info...

387d43113c Avoid using the terms 'installation', 'site', or 'instance' when referring 
to the thing you get from running initdb.  That's called a database cluster
(per SQL).

36da236eb3 In 'Joins between classes' in Section 5 of the tutorial we have, in 
the first paragraph:

    As an example, say we wish to find all the records that
    are in the  temperature  range  of  other records. In
    effect, we need to compare the temp_lo and temp_hi
    attributes of each EMP instance to the temp_lo and
    temp_hi  attributes of all other EMP instances.

I believe that EMP should read WEATHER, as the example query that
follows joins WEATHER to itself.

EMP is often used in Oracle examples.

Regards,
Graham
