Description:
(1) It would be helpful if the online help (section 5.3) mentioned that
after editing the definition of a view one doesn't have to save the new
definition, but rather to execute it in order to make the change
permanent.   

(2) Online help says (section 5.1) that SQL keywords are changed to blue
uppercase when entered manually. They do become blue indeed, but not
uppercase. Rather, bold face. 

(3) Online help says that "Logical OR evaluates to 1 if any operand is
non-zero, to NULL if any operand is NULL, otherwise 0 is returned."
This should read: "Logical OR evaluates to 1 if any operand is non-zero
and non-NULL, to 0 if both operands are 0, otherwise NULL is returned."

(4) The feature change described at the end of bug #13409 is not yet reflected in the online docs. This is confusing for novice users.

How to repeat:
n/a

Many thanks for writing a feature request. We overworked the whole documentation for the Query Browser and this is fixed in newer versions.
