Description:
This is a problem with the MySql manual.

Sections 13.2.1 and 13.2.10 both refer to section 13.2.7 as specifying the "where_condition".  However, section 13.2.7 contains only the following reference to "where_condition":
"where_condition is an expression that evaluates to true for each row to be selected."

This does not specify the syntax of where_condition.  In effect, it is assumed that the user already knows the syntax of where_condition.

How to repeat:
Check above manual sections.

Suggested fix:
Please add some BNF to specify the where_condition.

Thank you for a reasonable documentation request.

To be fixed in WL#5245.

Does this mean the syntax of the where_condition is completely undocumented?
If it's just missing from this page, please could somebody provide a link at least in this bug. If it's missing completely, please can we bump the priority up a bit? This bug is 3 years old now.
