Global dict name is listed inconsistently
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/plpython-sharing.html
Description:
Page https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/plpython-sharing.html says:
"The global dictionary SD is available to store data between function
calls." few lines lower it says: "global data and function arguments from
myfunc are not available to myfunc2. The exception is the data in the GD
dictionary, as mentioned above." Note that the global dictionary is named
"SD" in the first quote and "GD" in the second one.
Please correct either first or second sentence.
Kind regards,
Adam Bielański
Happy PostgreSQL user :)

Well, the documentation is correct, but obviously not clear. I have the
attached patch which modifies the documentation and clarifies this
issue. Does it help you?

Yes, it does, thank you.
Now it's clear why there are two different names.
