ISTM it would be much better to: Include the docs in both places, or Break constraint syntax/info into it's own page A last-resort would be to still refer to CREATE TABLE, but at least make it link to the actual constraint section, instead of just linking to the top of the page as it does now. Would -docs accept a patch for #1 or #2? -- Jim C.
