Database Administration Installation Guide
In instructions, boldface type highlights information that you enter. File
names, directories, and Web addresses also appear in boldface type.
In syntax, path names, or system messages, italic text represents a
variable, as in the following sample message:
The table
table_name
is not available.
• In syntax, the following additional conventions apply:
— A vertical bar ( | ) separating items indicates that you must
choose one item. In the following example, you would choose a,
b, or c:
a|b|c
— An ellipsis ( . . . ) indicates that you can repeat the preceding
item or items as many times as necessary.
— Square brackets ( [ ] ) around an item indicate that the item is
optional.
