----------------------------------
Oh, of course. How could I have forgotten that? Thanks, Knut.
> Update syntax description in Getting Started, use in Reference Manual too

> Key: DERBY-6353
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6353
> Project: Derby
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Documentation
> Affects Versions: 10.10.1.1
> Reporter: Kim Haase
> Assignee: Kim Haase
> Priority: Minor
>
> The "SQL Syntax" topic in the Getting Started guide
> (http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/10.10/getstart/rgsdocs10012.html) does not
> describe the curly braces ("{ }") as they are actually used in syntax
> statements, where they actually group required items, normally so choices can
> be separated by vertical bars ("|"). This should be corrected.
> I also plan to adopt the suggestion made in DERBY-6121 that the topic be
> added to the Reference Manual, where syntax is most used.
> Does anything else in the topic need fixing? I am confused by the statement
> that the asterisk "has a special meaning in some SQL statements." What
> special meaning can it have other than marking repeatable items?
