* Fix misleading references to columns in GRANT/REVOKE summaries

Folks,
Per a question Alexey Parshin asked in the IRC channel, I'm attaching
a patch to the GRANT and REVOKE syntax summaries which replaces the
misleading word "column" with "parameter." "Column" is misleading
because it could be read to imply a column-level GRANT/REVOKE, which
we don't have yet.
Cheers,
D

Apparently it's so misleading that you didn't understand it either.
The entire *point* of that paragraph is that we don't have the
feature. This proposed change is surely not an improvement...

Maybe removing the entire example would be more helpful. I don't find
it clear to have a command outline in a compatibility block.

True, there doesn't seem to be any point in providing a full syntax
summary rather than just saying "the SQL spec says you can grant
privileges on columns but we don't support that yet".

Agreed. Patch attached and applied. I don't see any other cases of
this in our documentation.

That doesn't mean this one isn't useful. Please revert this.

Well, Tom and I thought it caused confusion, as did the person reporting
the confusion. You saying to revert it isn't enough.

A possible compromise is to describe or show the syntax in some informal
form, so that it didn't look like one of the <synopsis> sections we use
for supported syntax. I'm not sure what that would look like exactly,
but I do see merit in both sides of this discussion...

I am all for us describing how we don't match the SQL spec, but just
showing the syntax doesn't seem to help people understand how we don't
match the spec, does it? Are there more details to column-level GRANT
except saying we don't support it?

I think it's pretty useful if people see a command of this form from
some other implementation and don't know what it means.
