Kim Haase commented on DERBY-2365:
----------------------------------

Bryan, thank you for those suggestions about the MAX and MIN pages, and Tomohito, thanks for renaming this issue -- that is the right thing to do.

Should I change the language in MIN about blank spaces to match the language in MAX?

> * Description of rules for trailing blank spaces
> In this part, next sentence of an example exists.
> For example, if the values 'z' and 'z ' are both stored in a column, you cannot control which one will be returned as the maximum, because a blank space has no value.
> Because blank space is value, I think "because a blank space has no value" is not appropriate.
> I think it should be as "because a blank space is an special value".
> * Mistaken information for LONG VARCHAR data type
> Now MAX / MIN are not allowed for LONG VARCHAR in Derby.
> However the manual mentions they are allowed.
> * mistaken maximum for MIN
> There exists next sentence in page for MIN :
> > The type's comparison rules determine the maximum value.
> Here, maximum should be minimum.
