Description:
Hi Docs Team,

I was looking for example of REORGANIZE partition and saw this:

"For more detailed information about and examples of ALTER TABLE ... REORGANIZE PARTITION  statements, see Section 18.3, “Partition Management”. "
 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-table.html

However, when going to 18.3 I don't see any examples of further explanation of REORGANIZE.

How to repeat:
Read http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-table.html

Suggested fix:
Place some (at least one) examples in Section 18.3 or alternatively the ALTER TABLE and update the message:

"For more detailed information about and examples of ALTER TABLE ... REORGANIZE PARTITION  statements, see Section 18.3, “Partition Management”. "
 http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/alter-table.html

Had you checked http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/partitioning-management-range-list.html, for example (18.3.1)? It contains explanation and examples... So, what we need to add (if anything) is more direct link maybe.

Hi Valeriy,

Yes, a direct link would solve this and make the docs easier to follow.
