Thanks so much, Knut.
1) I love nits, and thanks for catching the asterisk one.
2) Sorry, I got careless and forgot to copy my latest draft into my trunk area
with those last two sentences removed.
I'm attaching DERBY-6353-2.diff and DERBY-6353-2.zip, with the changes I
intended.
> Update syntax description in Getting Started, use in Reference Manual too

> 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?
