Peter Eisentraut bb4eefe7bf doc: Improve DocBook XML validity
DocBook XML is superficially compatible with DocBook SGML but has a
slightly stricter DTD that we have been violating in a few cases.
Although XSLT doesn't care whether the document is valid, the style
sheets don't necessarily process invalid documents correctly, so we need
to work toward fixing this.

This first commit moves the indexterms in refentry elements to an
allowed position.  It has no impact on the output.

<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>ALTER USER MAPPING</command> changes the definition of a
user mapping.
</para>
<para>
The owner of a foreign server can alter user mappings for that
server for any user. Also, a user can alter a user mapping for
his own user name if <literal>USAGE</> privilege on the server has
been granted to the user.

<title>Parameters</title>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">user_name</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
User name of the mapping. <literal>CURRENT_USER</>
and <literal>USER</> match the name of the current
user. <literal>PUBLIC</> is used to match all present and future
user names in the system.
</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry>
<term><replaceable class="parameter">server_name</replaceable></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Server name of the user mapping.

<varlistentry>
<term><literal>OPTIONS ( [ ADD | SET | DROP ] <replaceable class="PARAMETER">option</replaceable> ['<replaceable class="PARAMETER">value</replaceable>'] [, ... ] )</literal></term>
<listitem>
<para>
Change options for the user mapping. The new options override
any previously specified
options. <literal>ADD</>, <literal>SET</>, and <literal>DROP</>
specify the action to be performed. <literal>ADD</> is assumed
if no operation is explicitly specified. Option names must be
unique; options are also validated by the server's foreign-data
wrapper.

<title>Examples</title>
<para>
Change the password for user mapping <literal>bob</>, server<literal> foo</>:
<programlisting>
ALTER USER MAPPING FOR bob SERVER foo OPTIONS (user 'bob', password 'public');
</programlisting></para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Compatibility</title>
<para>
<command>ALTER USER MAPPING</command> conforms to ISO/IEC 9075-9
(SQL/MED). There is a subtle syntax issue: The standard omits
the <literal>FOR</literal> key word. Since both <literal>CREATE
USER MAPPING</literal> and <literal>DROP USER MAPPING</literal> use
<literal>FOR</literal> in analogous positions, and IBM DB2 (being
the other major SQL/MED implementation) also requires it
for <literal>ALTER USER MAPPING</literal>, PostgreSQL diverges from
the standard here in the interest of consistency and
interoperability.
