INTERVAL documentation bug?

I believe the documentation (Data Types section) is missing one INTERVAL "field":

HOUR TO SECOND

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.4/static/datatype-datetime.html

The interval type has an additional option, which is to restrict the set of stored fields by writing one of these phrases:

YEAR
MONTH
DAY
HOUR
MINUTE
SECOND
YEAR TO MONTH
DAY TO HOUR
DAY TO MINUTE
DAY TO SECOND
HOUR TO MINUTE
MINUTE TO SECOND

It's actually supported:

test1=> create table tab1 ( iv interval hour to second );
CREATE TABLE
test1=> insert into tab1 values ( 'PT444H59M59S' );
INSERT 0 1
test1=> select * from tab1;
iv
-----------
444:59:59
(1 row)

Client only install

We are running our PostGres db on Windows 2008 Server but have several
clients who are running various other versions of Windows (XP, Vista, etc).
Is there are binary install for just the client side install so that we do
not have to install everything?

If there isn't one available how do we run just the client side on the
workstations? Do we just not start the postmaster on the client?

Best Regards

you need only pgAdmin - it's pg client

Hmm, you're right. IIRC I copied and pasted that list straight from the
grammar, but I must have lost one line somehow. Thanks for noticing!
