Oracle® Database SQL Reference 10g Release 2

This reference contains a complete description of the Structured Query Language (SQL) used to manage information in an Oracle Database. Oracle SQL is a superset of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and the International Standards Organization (ISO) SQL:1999 standard.

The Oracle Database SQL Reference is intended for all users of Oracle SQL.

For more information, see these Oracle resources:

• PL/SQL User's Guide and Reference for information on PL/SQL, the procedural language extension to Oracle SQL
• Pro*C/C++ Programmer's Guide, Oracle SQL*Module for Ada Programmer's Guide, and the Pro*COBOL Programmer's Guide for detailed descriptions of Oracle embedded SQL

Many of the examples in this book use the sample schemas, which are installed by default when you select the Basic Installation option with an Oracle Database installation. Refer to Oracle Database Sample Schemas for information on how these schemas were created and how you can use them yourself.
