Kim Haase updated DERBY-5276:
-----------------------------
Attachment: derby5276.zip
derby5276.stat
This patch looks fine, and I'll commit it. Thanks for working on it!
I'm also attaching derby5276.stat, a stat file showing the changes, and
derby5276.zip, a zip file with the generated HTML, as is customary.
Normally, as you may have noticed, we attach those two files at the same time
as the patch file, and we don't file a patch until we are sure that the docs
build correctly. In this case I've confirmed that the patch is correct.
> Reference manual has wrong length for BIGINT columns in system tables

> The description of the SYSCOLUMNS table at
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefsistabs22441.html says that the
> BIGINT columns AUTOINCREMENTVALUE, AUTOINCREMENTSTART and AUTOINCREMENTINC
> have length 19. The maximum length of a BIGINT is 20 (when including the sign
> for negative values). Here's an example that shows that these columns can
> hold values whose length is 20:
> ij> create table t(x bigint not null generated always as identity (start with
> -1234567890123456789, increment by -1234567890123456789));
> 0 rows inserted/updated/deleted
> ij> select autoincrementvalue, autoincrementstart, autoincrementinc from
> sys.syscolumns where columnname='X';
> AUTOINCREMENTVALUE |AUTOINCREMENTSTART |AUTOINCREMENTINC
> --------------------------------------------------------------
> -1234567890123456789|-1234567890123456789|-1234567890123456789
> 1 row selected
> Other places where BIGINT columns are listed with length 19:
> SYSCONGLOMERATES -
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefsistabs39391.html
> SYSFILES - http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefsistabs40972.html
> SYSSEQUENCES -
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefsistabssyssequences.html
> SYSXPLAIN_RESULTSET_TIMINGS -
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefsysxplain_resultset_timings.html
> SYSXPLAIN_STATEMENT_TIMINGS -
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefsysxplain_statement_timings.html
> SYSCS_DIAG.SPACE_TABLE -
> http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/ref/rrefsyscsdiagtables.html
> I haven't verified if negative values are allowed in all of these columns. If
> they are only allowed to hold non-negative values, should we keep the value
> 19? Or should we change all to 20 for consistency? I'm assuming that "length"
> in these tables refers to the display size of the columns.
