Chapter 1: Introducing Ingres Commands


The Command Reference Guide describes all Ingres® commands. The guide is for the person who needs a quick reference to Ingres commands and system utilities.

Many commands operate on the database as a whole. Some invoke Ingres querying and reporting tools, preprocessors, and utilities. Some utilities are special purpose programs or require special privileges to invoke.

Audience

This guide is intended for programmers and users of Ingres who have a basic understanding of how relational database systems work. In addition, the reader should have a basic understanding of the operating system.

Special Considerations

Ingres installations can be administered in compliance with the C2 security standards.
If you are using an Enterprise Access product, see your Enterprise Access documentation for information about syntax that may differ from that described in this guide.
Ingres is compliant with ISO Entry SQL-92. In addition, numerous vendor extensions are included. For details about the settings required to operate in compliance with ISO Entry SQL-92, see the SQL Reference Guide.

System-specific Text in this Guide

Generally, Ingres operates the same way on all systems. When necessary, however, this guide provides information specific to your operating system. For example:

UNIX: Information is specific to the UNIX environment.
VMS: Information is specific to the VMS environment.
Windows: Information is specific to the Windows environment.

When necessary for clarity, the symbol is used to indicate the end of system-specific text.

For sections that pertain to one system only, the system is indicated in the section title.

Path Notation in this Guide

The directory structure of an Ingres installation is the same regardless of operating system. Rather than showing path examples for all environments, this guide uses UNIX notation only.
For example: When describing the location of the collation sequence file, the guide shows: /ingres/files/collation/collation_name.
On Windows, the location is: %II_SYSTEM%\ingres\files\collation\collation_name
On VMS, the location is: II_SYSTEM:[INGRES.FILES.COLLATION]collation_name
