Kim Haase updated DERBY-6353:
-----------------------------
Attachment: DERBY-6353-2.zip
DERBY-6353-2.diff
Substituting revised version of DERBY-6353-2.diff and DERBY-6353-2.zip, to add
the special meaning of the curly braces in JDBC escape syntax. This is specific
to the Reference Manual, so I'm not adding it to the version of the syntax
topic in Getting Started.
> 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
> Attachments: DERBY-6353-2.diff, DERBY-6353-2.diff, DERBY-6353-2.zip,
> DERBY-6353-2.zip, DERBY-6353.diff, DERBY-6353.stat, DERBY-6353.zip

>
> 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?
