Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "You should specify the full path, for instance: C:/Pentaho/data/ny_cities."

A block of code is set as follows:

 SELECT full_name
, injury_type
, to_char(start_date_time, 'yyyy-mm-dd') as injury_date
FROM injury_phases i
JOIN display_names n ON i.person_id = n.id AND entity_type = 'persons'
AND start_date_time BETWEEN '2007-07-01' AND '2007-07-31'
ORDER BY full_name, injury_type 
 

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "You can save time by clicking the Get fields to select button, which fills the grid with all the incoming fields."
