Skill issue. Old version docs tend to offer you a redirect to more recent docs, and even then something sintactic like an "IN" operator is unlikely to change in form or structure between versions of a database engine.
You realize It's just an example right?
Course I do. Why, do you need a link to the newest version of the joke?
Ohh I get it, it's so hilarious that no one knew it was a joke!
I guess you can always laugh at it yourself.
Sadly, the docs, I've worked with (openstack and ansible) frequently, don't do this. They have a button to go to the latest version of the docs, but not to the equivalent page on the latest version. This means I have to find the equivalent page again, from the integrated search usually.
And yes, a lot can change between versions. New features can get added that solve your problems or older stuff can get removed.
Oh yeah this is a PITA. Tho in that case it's skill issue on their end.
