Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text 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: "Note that Pat has renamed the sheet to Pat-Product Analysis."

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

Load CustomerNo as CustomerID, … From Table1 … ;
Load CustomerID, … From Table2 … ;

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "There is no need to save the sheet but rather just click on the Done button."
