Advanced Oracle Pl/Sql: Programming With Packages (Nutshell Handbook)
| Preface |
The following conventions are used in this book:
- Italic
is used for file and directory names.
- Bold
is used in headers.
- Constant width
is used for code examples and for variable, procedure, function, and package names in the text, as well as executable SQL scripts.
- UPPERCASE
in code examples, indicates PL/SQL keywords.
- lowercase
in code examples, indicates user-defined items such as variables and parameters.
- punctuation
in code examples, enter exactly as shown.
- indentation
in code examples, helps to show structure but is not required.
- .
In code examples and related discussions, a dot qualifies a reference by separating an object name from a component name. For example, dot notation is used to specify declarations within a package (e.g., PLVvu.code).
In general, all of the discussions and examples in this book apply regardless of the machine and/or operating system you are using. In those few cases where a feature is in any way system-dependent, I note that in the text.
