Notation Conventions

General Syntax Notation

This list summarizes the notation conventions for syntax presentation in this manual.

UPPERCASE LETTERS

Uppercase letters indicate keywords and reserved words. Type these items exactly as shown.
Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

SELECT

Italic Letters

Italic letters, regardless of font, indicate variable items that you supply. Items not enclosed
in brackets are required. For example:

file-name

Computer Type

Computer type letters within text indicate case-sensitive keywords and reserved words. Type
these items exactly as shown. Items not enclosed in brackets are required. For example:

myfile.sh

Bold Text

Bold text in an example indicates user input typed at the terminal. For example:

ENTER RUN CODE

?123
CODE RECEIVED: 123.00

The user must press the Return key after typing the input.

[ ] Brackets

Brackets enclose optional syntax items. For example:

DATETIME [start-field TO] end-field

A group of items enclosed in brackets is a list from which you can choose one item or none.
The items in the list can be arranged either vertically, with aligned brackets on each side of
the list, or horizontally, enclosed in a pair of brackets and separated by vertical lines. For
example:

DROP SCHEMA schema [CASCADE]
[RESTRICT]

DROP SCHEMA schema [ CASCADE | RESTRICT ]
