About Built-in Code Examples
Examples have been included for the Built-in subprograms. Some examples are
simple illustrations of the syntax. Others are more complex illustrations of
how to use the Built-in either alone or in conjunction with other Built-ins.
A few points to keep in mind regarding the syntax of examples:
- Examples are shown exactly as they can be entered.
- Casing and use of italics can be ignored and is included for readability.
- Built-in names and other PL/SQL reserved words, such as IF, THEN, ELSE,
BEGIN, and END are shown in capital letters for easier readability.
- Named parameters, when illustrated, are shown in an italic typeface.
If you choose to use named parameters, enter these parameter names exactly
as shown, without quotes and follow them with the equal/greater than symbols
(=>).
- CHAR type arguments must be enclosed in single quotes.
- Any other data type argument should not be enclosed in quotes.
- Special characters other than single quotes ('), commas (,), parentheses,
underscores (_), and semicolons(;) should be ignored.
