This preface contains the following topics:
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers. For additional information, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program Web site at
http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/
Accessibility of Code Examples in Documentation JAWS, a Windows screen reader, may not always correctly read the code examples in this document. The conventions for writing code require that closing braces should appear on an otherwise empty line; however, JAWS may not always read a line of text that consists solely of a bracket or brace.
Accessibility of Links to External Web Sites in Documentation This documentation may contain links to Web sites of other companies or organizations that Oracle does not own or control. Oracle neither evaluates nor makes any representations regarding the accessibility of these Web sites.

This section describes the conventions used in the text and code examples of this documentation set. It describes:
Conventions in text
Conventions in code examples
Conventions for Microsoft Windows Operating Systems
Conventions in Text
Convention | Meaning | Example |
---|---|---|
Bold | Bold typeface indicates terms that are defined in the text or terms that appear in a glossary, or both. | When you specify this clause, you create an index-organized table. |
Italics | Italic typeface indicates book titles or emphasis. | Oracle9i Database Concepts
Ensure that the recovery catalog and target database do not reside on the same disk. |
UPPERCASE monospace (fixed-width) font | Uppercase monospace typeface indicates elements supplied by the system. Such elements include parameters, privileges, datatypes, RMAN keywords, SQL keywords, SQL*Plus or utility commands, packages and methods, as well as system-supplied column names, database objects and structures, usernames, and roles. | You can specify this clause only for a NUMBER column.
You can back up the database by using the BACKUP command. Query the TABLE_NAME column in the USER_TABLES data dictionary view. Use the DBMS_STATS.GENERATE_STATS procedure. |
lowercase monospace (fixed-width) font | Lowercase monospace typeface indicates executables, filenames, directory names, and sample user-supplied elements. Such elements include computer and database names, net service names, and connect identifiers, as well as user-supplied database objects and structures, column names, packages and classes, usernames and roles, program units, and parameter values.
Note: Some programmatic elements use a mixture of UPPERCASE and lowercase. Enter these elements as shown. |
Enter sqlplus to open SQL*Plus.
The password is specified in the orapwd file. Back up the datafiles and control files in the /disk1/oracle/dbs directory. The department_id, department_name, and location_id columns are in the hr.departments table. Set the QUERY_REWRITE_ENABLED initialization parameter to true. Connect as oe user. The JRepUtil class implements these methods. |
lowercase italic monospace (fixed-width) font | Lowercase italic monospace font represents placeholders or variables. | You can specify the parallel_clause.
Run Uold_release.SQL where old_release refers to the release you installed prior to upgrading. |
Conventions in Code Examples
Code examples illustrate SQL, PL/SQL, SQL*Plus, or other command-line statements. They are displayed in a monospace (fixed-width) font and separated from normal text as shown in this example:
SELECT username FROM dba_users WHERE username = 'MIGRATE';
The following table describes typographic conventions used in code examples and provides examples of their use.
Convention | Meaning | Example |
---|---|---|
[ ] | Brackets enclose one or more optional items. Do not enter the brackets. | DECIMAL (digits [ , precision ]) |
{ } | Braces enclose two or more items, one of which is required. Do not enter the braces. | {ENABLE | DISABLE} |
|
|
A vertical bar represents a choice of two or more options within brackets or braces. Enter one of the options. Do not enter the vertical bar. | {ENABLE | DISABLE}
[COMPRESS | NOCOMPRESS] |
... | Horizontal ellipsis points indicate either:
|
CREATE TABLE ... AS subquery;
SELECT col1, col2, ... , coln FROM employees; |
.
. . |
Vertical ellipsis points indicate that we have omitted several lines of code not directly related to the example. |
|
Other notation | You must enter symbols other than brackets, braces, vertical bars, and ellipsis points as shown. | acctbal NUMBER(11,2);
acct CONSTANT NUMBER(4) := 3; |
Italics | Italicized text indicates placeholders or variables for which you must supply particular values. | CONNECT SYSTEM/system_password
DB_NAME = database_name |
UPPERCASE | Uppercase typeface indicates elements supplied by the system. We show these terms in uppercase in order to distinguish them from terms you define. Unless terms appear in brackets, enter them in the order and with the spelling shown. However, because these terms are not case sensitive, you can enter them in lowercase. | SELECT last_name, employee_id FROM employees;
SELECT * FROM USER_TABLES; DROP TABLE hr.employees; |
lowercase | Lowercase typeface indicates programmatic elements that you supply. For example, lowercase indicates names of tables, columns, or files.
Note: Some programmatic elements use a mixture of UPPERCASE and lowercase. Enter these elements as shown. |
SELECT last_name, employee_id FROM employees;
sqlplus hr/hr CREATE USER mjones IDENTIFIED BY ty3MU9; |
