A B commented on DERBY-275:
---------------------------
With this latest patch, it looks like some text in the "CREATE TABLE" section
was orphaned. More specifically, the following lines should be moved to the
"Identity column attributes" section with the rest of the related info:
----
The IDENTITY keyword can only be specified if the data type associated with the
column is one of the following exact integer types.
* SMALLINT
* INT
* BIGINT
----
Actually, there seems to be a lot of column-specific information under the
"CREATE TABLE" section that would be better if moved to the "Column-definition"
section. For example, we talk about "Data types", "Column-level-constraints",
and column defaults when none of those are used in the syntax diagram for
CREATE TABLE. Wouldn't all of that make more sense under the
"Column-definition" section? Of course, that's a problem that existed before
this patch, so perhaps that should be a different issue to be filed against the
Reference Manual later...?
In any event, the above lines (at the very least) should be moved to the same
section that describes the GENERATED ALWAYS/BY DEFAULT keywords, since that's
where IDENTITY columns are specified.
> Add documentation support for BY DEFAULT option, once code changes are made.
