I think that "statement" should be used only for SQL statements like SELECT, CREATE TABLE, GRANT. VALUES is not a statement in SQL. I believe that "clause" is more accurate.

Hello. See .... It is reason why I feel question that title of the page was "VALUE expression" and there was "VALUE statement". Then I feel question for the different word. Reading comment from others, however , I came to conclude that it is quite right that the words are different according to context which original writer thought . Then I will respect original usage and keep it as "statement" in translated manual. Thank you for your comments :) Best regards. Bernt M.
