Hi,

ALTER TABLE [ IF EXISTS ] [ ONLY ] name [ * ]
action [, ... ]

Why the description of [ IF EXISTS ] part above is listed with that of
actions; it seems to give an impression that it is one of the ALTER
TABLE actions. I think it should be one of the lines in the paragraph
just above where the description of actions begins.

I propose to change is it like attached.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Amit

If moved it to the Parameters section, which is where it is on other
reference pages.
