Hmm. Thanks to Don and Jay for a definition. The def ("Data
Manipulation Language") was what I thought, but I find it confusing
that it is used to refer to a subset of "SQL", which also has
"Language" in the acronym.
Would it be acceptable to replace "DML statement" with something like
"data-altering statement"? The phrase shows up in only two places in
our ~700 pages of docs and out of context it doesn't seem to add
value...
