Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning. Code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The last characters CI and AS are for case insensitive and accent sensitive, respectively." A block of code is set as follows:

USE DQS_STAGING_DATA; 
SELECT CustomerKey, FullName, StreetAddress, City, StateProvince, CountryRegion, EmailAddress, BirthDate, Occupation;

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Click on the Sign in visible at the right (top) to log into Visual Studio Dev Essentials."
