Oracle9iAS TopLink Foundation Library Guide Release 2 (9.0.3) Part Number B10064-01 |
|
This section introduces the information you need to get the most out of the documentation that accompanies your software. This preface contains these topics:
This document is intended for application developers who perform the following tasks:
This document assumes that you are familiar with the concepts of object-oriented programming, the Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) specification, and with your own particular Java development environment.
The document also assumes that you are familiar with your particular operating system (Windows, UNIX, or other). The general operation of any operating system is described in the user documentation for that system, and is not repeated in this manual.
Our goal is to make Oracle products, services, and supporting documentation accessible, with good usability, to the disabled community. To that end, our documentation includes features that make information available to users of assistive technology. This documentation is available in HTML format, and contains markup to facilitate access by the disabled community. Standards will continue to evolve over time, and Oracle Corporation is actively engaged with other market-leading technology vendors to address technical obstacles so that our documentation can be accessible to all of our customers. For additional information, visit the Oracle Accessibility Program Web site at http://www.oracle.com/accessibility/

Code examples illustrate SQL, PL/SQL, SQL*Plus, or other command-line statements. They are displayed in a monospace (fixed-width) font and separated from normal text as shown in this example:
SELECT username FROM dba_users WHERE username = 'MIGRATE';
The following table describes typographic conventions used in code examples and provides examples of their use.
The following table describes conventions for Microsoft Windows operating systems and provides examples of their use.
