Information in this Guide applies to the Oracle7 Server, running on all operating systems. It provides information about the base Oracle7 Server. This Guide also refers to other manuals that describe special options, including the following:
As a prerequisite, all readers should read the first chapter of Oracle7 Server Concepts, "A Technical Introduction to the Oracle7 Server". This chapter is a comprehensive introduction to the concepts and terminology used throughout this Guide.
If your primary interest is installation, see your operating system-specific Oracle documentation.
If your primary interest is database or application migration, see the Oracle7 Server Migration manual.
However, database application developers should also see the Oracle7 Server Application Developer's Guide and the documentation for the tool or language product they are using to develop Oracle database applications.
UPPERCASE WORDS
Uppercase text is used to call attention to command keywords, object names, parameters, filenames, and so on. For example:
If you create a private rollback segment, the name of the rollback segment must be included in the ROLLBACK_SEGMENTS parameter of the parameter file.
Italicized Words
Italicized words within text are used to indicate the first occurrence and definition of a term, as in the following example:
A database is a collection of data to be treated as a unit. The general purpose of a database is to store and retrieve related information, as needed.
Italicized words are also used to indicate emphasis, book titles, and to highlight names of performance statistics.
For more information on Server Manager, see the Oracle Server Manager User's Guide.

Uppercase words in example statements are used to indicate the keywords within Oracle SQL. However, note that when issuing statements, keywords are not case-sensitive.
Lowercase Words emp, users2.ora
