horizontally, enclosed in a pair of braces and separated by vertical
lines. For example:
INTERVAL { start-field TO end-field }
{ single-field }
INTERVAL { start-field TO end-field | single-field }
| Vertical Line A vertical line separates alternatives in a horizontal list that is enclosed
in brackets or braces. For example:
{expression | NULL}
… Ellipsis An ellipsis immediately following a pair of brackets or braces indicates
that you can repeat the enclosed sequence of syntax items any number
of times. For example:
ATTRIBUTE[S] attribute [, attribute]...
{, sql-expression}...
An ellipsis immediately following a single syntax item indicates that
you can repeat that syntax item any number of times. For example:
expression-n…
Punctuation Parentheses, commas, semicolons, and other symbols not previously
described must be typed as shown. For example:
DAY (datetime-expression)
@script-file
Quotation marks around a symbol such as a bracket or brace indicate
the symbol is a required character that you must type as shown. For
example:
"{" module-name [, module-name]... "}"
Item Spacing Spaces shown between items are required unless one of the items is
a punctuation symbol such as a parenthesis or a comma. For example:
DAY (datetime-expression)
DAY(datetime-expression)
If there is no space between two items, spaces are not permitted. In
this example, no spaces are permitted between the period and any
other items:
myfile.sh
Line Spacing If the syntax of a command is too long to fit on a single line, each
continuation line is indented three spaces and is separated from the
preceding line by a blank line. This spacing distinguishes items in a
continuation line from items in a vertical list of selections. For
example:
match-value [NOT] LIKE pattern
