This document provides installation procedures to install and configure Oracle TopLink. It also introduces the concepts with which you should be familiar to get the most out of TopLink.
This preface contains these topics:
The Oracle TopLink Getting Started Guide is intended for new users who need to install and configure TopLink.
This document assumes that you are familiar with the concepts of object-oriented programming, the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification, and with your own particular Java development environment.
The document also assumes that you are familiar with your particular operating system (such as Windows or UNIX). The general operation of any operating system is described in the user documentation for that system, and is not repeated in this manual.
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. Accessibility 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.

This section describes the conventions used in the text and code examples of this documentation set. It describes:
Conventions in Text
We use various conventions in text to help you more quickly identify special terms. The following table describes those conventions and provides examples of their use.
Convention | Meaning | Example |
---|---|---|
Italics | Italic typeface indicates book titles or emphasis. | Oracle10i 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 Query the Use the |
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. |

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} |

|
Italics |
Italicized text indicates placeholders or variables for which you must supply particular values. | CONNECT SYSTEM/ system_password
|
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;
