Description:
I'm missing data on availability of certain functions:

mysql> SELECT DATE('2003-12-31 01:02:03');
ERROR 1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax.  Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '('2003-12-31 01:02:03')' at line 1

mysql> SELECT VERSION();
+------------+
| VERSION()  |
+------------+
| 4.0.15-log |
+------------+

How to repeat:
read the manual

Suggested fix:
ALWAYS say which version introduces respective feature.

We do this.

From the manual:

DATE(expr)
    Extracts the date part of the date or datetime expression expr.

mysql> SELECT DATE('2003-12-31 01:02:03');
        -> '2003-12-31'

    DATE() is available as of MySQL 4.1.1.

Thank you.
