Additional context

Hi QuestDB team 👋

While checking the REST API documentation, I found a small typo in the example query.

The docs currently show:
curl -G "http://localhost:9000/exec?query=select * form trades"

But it should be:
curl -G "http://localhost:9000/exec?query=select * from trades"

This small correction will help new users avoid confusion while testing the API.

Thanks for maintaining such an awesome project!
