Provide "SQL Reference" product manual for DVM

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

(This IDEA item was written based on my own experience in DVM POC test at customer site.)

So far, DVM does not provide "SQL Reference" kind of product manual which describes SQL syntax rules supported by DVM.
Somebody said it is because DVM is conforming to ANSI-92 SQL standard and DVM doesn't need to provide its own product manual.
However;
- There are a lot of difference in syntax rules between DVM and Db2 for z/OS, as I said in another IDEA item (DVMZ-I-3).
- Db2 for z/OS customers often have a lot of SQL statements whose syntax would not be allowed by ANSI-based SQL engine.
- From ANSI WEBSTORE site, it looks like they can purchase ANSI syntax book, but it's expensive and they'd feel like "putting the cart before the horse".

To enable customers to check their SQL syntax themselves easily, DVM should provide its own "SQL Reference" product manual.

    DVM for z/OS does have a recently added SQL Reference Guide that is published and available for use. This content will continue to be revised and updated. Please see the following link in IBM Documentation:

    https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/dvm/1.1.0?topic=reference

    Please let us know if you have specific needs around this topic. The details are organized slightly different than a traditional SQL Reference guide in the online viewing.
