>                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-166
>             Project: Derby
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Documentation
>    Affects Versions: 10.0.2.0
>         Environment: Windows XP SP1 Professional
>            Reporter: George Baklarz
>            Priority: Trivial

> The following statement in the documentation is incorrect:
> NULL The opposite of NOT NULL (not really a constraint), it specifies that the column can hold NULL values. Specifying NULL is the same as saying nothing at all, except when the column is included in a PRIMARY KEY constraint.
> If you try to create a column with the NULL attribute, you get a failure:
> CREATE TABLE X ( A INT NULL );
> ERROR 42X01: Syntax error: Encountered "null" at line 1, column 23.
> While this isn't really a problem since we can just omit the NULL keyword, the documentation gives the impression that it is allowed in the CREATE statement.
