Description:
(This text was generated from a translation tool.)

There is a request for a correction to the documentation regarding partitions.
The partition delimiter used in the SQL shown in the last code block of "24.5 Partition Selection" is a dot.
I think the comma delimiter is correct and would appreciate a correction.

```sql
mysql> INSERT INTO employees PARTITION (p3, p4. p5) VALUES
    ->     (24, 'Tim', 'Greene', 3, 1),  (26, 'Linda', 'Mills', 2, 1);
```

- https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/partitioning-selection.html
- https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/partitioning-selection.html

Suggested fix:
```sql
mysql> INSERT INTO employees PARTITION (p3, p4, p5) VALUES
    ->     (24, 'Tim', 'Greene', 3, 1),  (26, 'Linda', 'Mills', 2, 1);
```
