hello,

within pgsql in \? the command help there is:

\du [PATTERN] list users

the answer of "list users" is

----> List of roles

(since the introduction of rules), so I recommend updating the documentation to

\du [PATTERN] list roles (users)

TIP 9: In versions below 8.0, the planner will ignore your desire to
choose an index scan if your joining column's datatypes do not
match

Done. I changed \dg the same way. psql's SGML docs seem okay already.
