-      If you have a column of type smallint or
-      bigint with an index, you may encounter problems
-      getting the system to use that index.  For instance, a clause of
-      the form
-
-... WHERE smallint_column = 42
-
-      will not use an index, because the system assigns type
-      integer to the constant 42, and
-      PostgreSQL currently
-      cannot use an index when two different data types are involved.  A
-      workaround is to single-quote the constant, thus:
-
-... WHERE smallint_column = '42'
-
-      This will cause the system to delay type resolution and will
-      assign the right type to the constant.
