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: "We can include other contexts through the use of the include directive."

A block of code is set as follows:

pdb2=
  (DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db12server02)(PORT = 1521))
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SERVER = DEDICATED)
      (SERVICE_NAME = pdb2)
    )
  )

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

[oracle@db12c ogg_src]$ oerr ora 1466
01466, 00000, "unable to read data - table definition has changed"
// *Cause: Query parsed after tbl (or index) change, and executed
//         w/old snapshot
// *Action: commit (or rollback) transaction, and re-execute

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: "This provides all GoldenGate INFO, WARNING, and ERROR messages."
