#hana-hints

this is a DB-independent hint. The section targeted by the link is named "Query Hints". Hence I think this is OK. However, I think the section "Query Hints" could also mention query-independent hints:

Quer Hints

Runtime Hints

DB-specific Hints

I also think we should introduce "hana." as a synonymn for the "hdb." prefix. Would be more natural.

Yes, the hint section should not be specific to HANA: #1942

```Java
Delete.from("bookshop.Orders").byId(1000).hint("cascade.delete", false);
```
