Oracle accepts an optional (and useless...) keyword "FIELDS" in insert statements, like in this example
INSERT INTO mytable FIELDS (myfield) VALUES ('myvalue');
the grammar did not accept this FIELDS keyword.
Moreover: it is actually possible do declare a plsql variable named "AUDIT" even if AUDIT is a keyword: this compiles just fine for oracle:
declare
audit CLOB;
begin
....
end;
but this wasn't accepted by the grammar. I fixed it too
