This section describes the conventions used in the text and code examples of this documentation set. It describes:
Conventions in Text
We use the following conventions in text to help you more quickly identify special terms. The table also provides examples of their use.
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. | Oracle Database 10g 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, data types, Recovery Manager keywords, SQL keywords, SQL*Plus or utility commands, packages and methods, as well as system-supplied column names, database objects and structures, user names, and roles. | You can specify this clause only for a NUMBER column.
You can back up the database by using the Query the Use the |
lowercase monospace (fixed-width) font |
Lowercase monospace typeface indicates executable programs, filenames, directory names, and sample user-supplied elements.
Note: Some programmatic elements use a mixture of UPPERCASE and lowercase. Enter these elements as shown. |
Enter sqlplus to start SQL*Plus.
The password is specified in the Back up the datafiles and control files in the The Connect as The |
lowercase italic monospace (fixed-width) font |
Lowercase italic monospace font represents placeholders or variables. | You can specify the parallel_clause .
Run |
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 |
---|---|---|
[ ] |
Anything enclosed in brackets is optional. |
DECIMAL (digits [ , precision ]) |
{ } |
Braces are used for grouping items. |
{ENABLE | DISABLE} |
| |
A vertical bar represents a choice of two options. |
{ENABLE | DISABLE} [COMPRESS | NOCOMPRESS] |
... |
Ellipsis points mean repetition in syntax descriptions.
In addition, ellipsis points can mean an omission in code examples or text. |
CREATE TABLE ... AS subquery; SELECT col1, col2, ... , coln FROM employees; |
Other symbols | You must use symbols other than brackets ([ ]), braces ({ }), vertical bars (|), and ellipsis points (...) exactly as shown. |
|
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. Because these terms are not case sensitive, you can use them in either UPPERCASE or lowercase. |
SELECT last_name, employee_id FROM employees; SELECT * FROM USER_TABLES; DROP TABLE hr.employees; |
lowercase |
Lowercase typeface indicates user-defined programmatic elements, such as 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; |
Conventions for Windows Operating Systems
The following table describes conventions for Windows operating systems and provides examples of their use.
Convention | Meaning | Example |
---|---|---|
Click Start, and then choose the menu item | How to start a program. | To start the Database Configuration Assistant, click Start, and choose Programs. In the Programs menu, choose Oracle - HOME_NAME and then click Configuration and Migration Tools. Choose Database Configuration Assistant. |
File and directory names | File and directory names are not case sensitive. The following special characters are not allowed: left angle bracket (<), right angle bracket (>), colon (:), double quotation marks ("), slash (/), pipe (|), and dash (-). The special character backslash (\) is treated as an element separator, even when it appears in quotes. If the filename begins with \\, then Windows assumes it uses the Universal Naming Convention. | c:\winnt"\"system32 is the same as C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32 |
C:\> |
Represents the Windows command prompt of the current hard disk drive. The escape character in a command prompt is the caret (^). Your prompt reflects the subdirectory in which you are working. Referred to as the command prompt in this manual. |
C:\oracle\oradata> |
Special characters | The backslash (\) special character is sometimes required as an escape character for the double quotation mark (") special character at the Windows command prompt. Parentheses and the single quotation mark (') do not require an escape character. Refer to your Windows operating system documentation for more information on escape and special characters. |
C:\>exp HR/HR TABLES=employees QUERY=\"WHERE job_id='SA_REP' and salary<8000\" |
HOME_NAME
|
Represents the Oracle home name. The home name can be up to 16 alphanumeric characters. The only special character allowed in the home name is the underscore. |
C:\> net start OracleHOME_NAMETNSListener
|
ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE |
In releases prior to Oracle8i release 8.1.3, when you installed Oracle components, all subdirectories were located under a top level ORACLE_HOME directory.
This release complies with Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) guidelines. All subdirectories are not under a top level All directory path examples in this guide follow OFA conventions. Refer to Oracle Database Installation Guide for Windows for additional information about OFA compliances and for information about installing Oracle products in non-OFA compliant directories. |
Change to the ORACLE_BASE \ ORACLE_HOME \rdbms\admin directory. |
