Kim Haase updated DERBY-5999:
-----------------------------

    Attachment: DERBY-5999.zip
                DERBY-5999.stat
                DERBY-5999.diff

Attaching DERBY-5999.diff, DERBY-5999.stat, and DERBY-5999.zip, with changes to two topics:

M       src/ref/rrefsqlj41207.dita
M       src/tuning/ctundepth1002853.dita

There is no need, I think, to add a warning to the documentation of the CHAR data type. Since a CHAR can be no larger than 254 bytes, there is no danger of bumping into the page size limit. 

Please let me know if you have any suggestions for changes.

> DERBY-5881 includes the following suggestion:
> 3. The documentation for sized datatypes like char and varchar should be updated to warn about indexing limitations (which would most likely be encounterd with such datatypes).
> It probably also makes sense to add this recommendation to the introductory topic on indexes in the Tuning Guide (http://db.apache.org/derby/docs/dev/tuning/ctunperf10679.html).
