Fix erroneous documentation of the syntax of CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER.

tglsfdc · tglsfdc · commit 2f6c8453cf3f · 2011-03-02T11:39:18.000-05:00
The grammar requires a specific ordering of the clauses, but the documentation showed a different order. This error was introduced in commit b47953f, which merged the CREATE CONSTRAINT TRIGGER documentation into the CREATE TRIGGER page. There is no code bug AFAICS.
