Kim Haase commented on DERBY-3959:
----------------------------------

Thanks very much, Rick.

I guess that means that in the ALTER TABLE topic, the following statement under 
"Adding columns" is not quite true:

"The syntax for the column-definition for a new column is the same as for a 
column in a CREATE TABLE statement."

The sentence after that is

"This means that a column constraint can be placed on the new column within the 
ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN statement."

I suppose I should change the two sentences to something like this:

"The syntax for the column-definition for a new column is almost the same as 
for a column in a CREATE TABLE statement. This syntax allows a column 
constraint to be placed on the new column within the ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN 
statement."
