  • Quick Reference to SQL and SQL*Plus
    APPENDIX A ■ ■ ■ Quick Reference to SQL and SQL*Plus This appendix offers quick references for SQL*Plus and the SQL language. It is far from a com- plete reference, but it should still prove useful. The Oracle documentation contains (besides the comprehensive and complete references) an SQL Quick Reference and a SQL*Plus Quick Reference, but this appendix is much more concise than those two Oracle quick references. You may abbreviate most SQL*Plus commands and their components, as long as you don’t introduce ambiguity. This appendix does not show all SQL*Plus command abbreviation possibilities explicitly, in order to enhance its readability. For example, where this appendix lists the COMPUTE command, it should show it as COMP[UTE], because you can abbreviate the SQL*Plus COMPUTE command to COMP. Abbreviation is available only for SQL*Plus commands; you must always enter SQL commands completely. Refer to SQL*Plus User’s Guide and Reference for all of the abbreviations for SQL*Plus commands and their components. ■Tip When writing SQL*Plus scripts, use the full SQL*Plus commands and the full command component names instead of their abbreviations. This will enhance the readability of your scripts. When you are using SQL*Plus interactively, you may want to use the abbreviations. There are some differences between SQL*Plus and iSQL*Plus; however, this appendix does not list those differences. Refer to SQL*Plus User’s Guide and Reference for more details. The Oracle documentation also explicitly shows all abbreviations for SQL*Plus commands and
