In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "it will prompt you to override the previous Office Data Connection file or *.odc file."

A block of code is set as follows:

CREATE VIEW view_BI_RM_TRX AS
SELECT CT.CUSTNMBR AS [Customer ID], 
CM.CUSTNAME AS Customer, 
CM.HOLD AS [Customer Hold], 
CM.CUSTCLAS AS [Customer Class ID], 
CM.CNTCPRSN AS Contact, 

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Open a blank workbook in Excel, from the menu bar."
