Description

DERBY-3755 points out that the syntax for GET CURSOR shown in the the ij tool's help command is incomplete. However, if the syntax shown in ij is correct, the syntax in the Tools Guide topic for GET CURSOR is also incomplete, because it does not include the optional SCROLL INSENSITIVE. The complete syntax should be

GET [SCROLL INSENSITIVE] [WITH

{HOLD|NOHOLD}

] CURSOR Identifier AS String

SCROLL INSENSITIVE is the default, and SCROLL SENSITIVE is not supported, so there is no need to specify it. However, we should indicate that this syntax is supported.

Another fix that can now be made is to remove the following note, since Derby now supports no Java version below 1.4.

Note: WITH NOHOLD is only available in Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition, v 1.4 (J2SE) or higher.
