The B<Query> block defines one database query which may later be used by a
database definition. It accepts a single mandatory argument which specifies
the name of the query. The names of all queries have to be unique (see the
-B<MinPGVersion> and B<MaxPGVersion> options below for an exception to this
+B<MinVersion> and B<MaxVersion> options below for an exception to this
rule). The following configuration options are available to define the query:
In each B<Query> block, there is one or more B<Result> blocks. B<Result>
should be used. The first option specifies the data found in the first column,
the second option that of the second column, and so on.

Specify the minimum or maximum version of PostgreSQL that this query should be
used with. Some statistics might only be available with certain versions of
