Jack Klebanoff commented on DERBY-355:
--------------------------------------

The latest patch looks good to me.

In my previous comments I agreed with the decision to put TIMESTAMPADD and 
TIMESTAMPDIFF in the builtin function section. Users are more likely to find 
them there than in the JDBC escape section. The other JDBC escape features have 
equivalent functionality in pure SQL. Users looking through the Derby SQL 
reference will find the functionality and be able to get their jobs done. I 
think that the JDBC escapes are a bit obscure, users looking for timestamp 
arithmetic may not think of looking in the JDBC escape section.

The JDBC escape section should have at least a reference to TIMESTAMPADD and 
TIMESTAMPDIFF. We can document them in the builtin function section and have 
references in the JDBC escape section, or document them in the JDBC escape 
section and have references in the builtin function section. I think that it is 
important that both sections mention the functions.
