In this manual, most of the examples are in lowercase. However, you can

 

disregard case when typing Transact-SQL keywords. For example, SELECT,

 

Select, and select are the same.

 

Adaptive Server’s sensitivity to the case of database objects, such as table

 

names, depends on the sort order installed on Adaptive Server. You can change

 

case sensitivity for single-byte character sets by reconfiguring the Adaptive

 

Server sort order. For more information, see the System Administration Guide.

Terms

The following terms appear repeatedly throughout this book. For more detailed

 

information about these and other terms, see the Glossary.

Accessibility features

/work/sybase – is given as an example of the Sybase installation directory.

Text editor – refers to an ASCII text editor or any editor that can save files to text format.

This document is available in an HTML version that is specialized for accessibility. You can navigate the HTML with an adaptive technology such as a screen reader, or view it with a screen enlarger.

Adaptive Server Enterprise and the HTML documentation have been tested for compliance with U.S. government Section 508 Accessibility requirements. Documents that comply with Section 508 generally also meet non-U.S. accessibility guidelines, such as the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) guidelines for Web sites.

The online help for this product is also provided in HTML, which you can navigate using a screen reader.

Note You might need to configure your accessibility tool for optimal use. Some screen readers pronounce text based on its case; for example, they pronounce ALL UPPERCASE TEXT as initials, and MixedCase Text as words. You might find it helpful to configure your tool to announce syntax conventions. Consult the documentation for your tool.
