The process of transforming one version of the Oracle database into a later version of the Oracle database is called migration. Thus, the transformation of an Oracle, Version 6 database into an Oracle, Version 7 database is described as "the migration of an Oracle, Version 6 database to an Oracle, Version 7 database". For specific information on migrating from Version 6 to any of the Version 7 releases, see Chapter 7 "Migrating from Version 6 to Version 7".
The process of transforming one release to another release of the same version of the Oracle database is called upgrading or downgrading. Thus, the process of transforming a Release 7.0 database into a Release 7.1 database is described as "upgrading Release 7.0 to Release 7.1". The reverse process, of transforming a Release 7.1 database into a Release 7.0 database, is described as "downgrading Release 7.1 into Release 7.0". For specific information on upgrading and downgrading between Releases 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and 7.3, see Chapter 9 "Upgrading and Downgrading between Oracle7 Releases".

An example of a definition is the following: "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."
An example of a reference to another book is the following: "For more information, see Oracle7 Server Tuning."
An example of an emphasized word is the following: "You must back up your database regularly."
INSERT INTO emp (empno, ename) VALUES (1000, 'SMITH');
ALTER TABLESPACE users ADD DATAFILE 'users2.ora' SIZE 50K;
Example statements may include punctuation, such as commas or quotation marks. All punctuation in example statements is required. All example statements terminate with a semicolon (;). Depending on the application, a semicolon or other terminator may or may not be required to end a statement.
Uppercase words in example statements indicate the keywords within Oracle SQL. When issuing statements, however, keywords are not case sensitive.
