Christian Berendt 6be4f5775f Unified the syntax of the XML root element (user-guide)
The XML root element of Docbook XML files should match the following

<title>Create and access a database</title>
<para>Assuming you have already installed the Database service and stocked your datastore with images for the type and versions of databases you want, you can create and access a database. This example shows you how to create and access a MySQL 5.5 database.</para>

<title>To create and access a database</title>
<step>
<formalpara>
<title>Determine the flavor to use for your database.</title>
<para>When you create a database instance, you must specify a nova flavor. The flavor indicates various characteristics of the instance, such as RAM, root volume size, and so on. The default nova flavors do not cover what you need for database instances. Therefore, you may need to create (or obtain) some new nova flavors that will work for databases.</para>
</formalpara>
<para>The first step is to list the existing flavors, using the nova <command>flavor-list</command> command. Here are the default flavors, although you may have additional custom flavors in your environment:</para>

<title>Restore using incremental backups.</title>
<para>Now assume that your <literal>guest1</literal> database instance is damaged and you need to restore it from your incremental backups. In this example, you use the trove <command>create</command> command to create a new database instance called <literal>guest2</literal>.</para>
</formalpara>
<para>To incorporate your incremental backups, you simply use the <code>--backup</code> argument to pass in the <replaceable>BACKUP_ID</replaceable> of your most recent incremental backup. The Database service handles the complexities of applying the chain of all previous incremental backups.</para>
