Hi Federico

I know one of the weaknesses has been adding new content as a new 
article, and then not cross-linking it on all related pages, so you're 
right that this is probably not the only case. It'll be quite hard to 
'check that all ... features are documented in the proper KB page' 
though! If I do spot anything will be sure to add it, otherwise feel 
free to add/report if you spot something.

Thanks for adding the missing content in this case.

Also, I needed to experiment: in fact, from the above page, it wasn't clear if MAX_STATEMENT_TIME was a permission or a user resourse limit.
