add alias FLOAT for double precision
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/17/datatype.html
Description:
In table 8.1 (
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype.html#DATATYPE-TABLE ) the
FLOAT alias isn't listed, I think it would make sense to include beside
FLOAT8.
