Oracle Rdb provides DCL help for the following topics:

    o  SQL-Provides overview information on Oracle's implementation
       of the SQL interface for Oracle Rdb.

    o  SQLMOD-Provides reference information on SQL Module Language.

    o  SQLPRE-Provides reference information on SQL Precompiler.

    o  RMU-Provides information and syntax on the Oracle RMU utility.

    o  SQL_SERVICES-Provides reference and user information on Oracle
       SQL/Services.

    o  RDBPRE-Describes the RDBPRE preprocessor.

       preprocessor.

    o  RDO-Provides overview information on the RDO utility.

    For OpenVMS I64, Oracle offers just a multiversion kit. For
    releases prior to 7.1 on OpenVMS Alpha systems, Oracle offers
    an Oracle Rdb standard kit and multiversion kit. The names of
    the DCL help topics are slightly different for the two types of
    Oracle Rdb kits.

    Oracle Rdb gives you the ability to read all the DCL help topics
    for each version of Oracle Rdb that is installed on your system.
    How you access these DCL help topics depends on whether you want
    to read the help topic for a standard kit or a multiversion kit.
    If you are not sure what Oracle Rdb kits are installed on your
    system, ask your database administrator or system manager.

    For information on reading DCL topics for standard kits, see the
    subtopic "Standard_kit."

    For information on reading DCL topics for multiversion kits, see
    the subtopic "Multiversion_Kit".

1  –  Standard kit

    The standard kit is available only for OpenVMS Alpha systems that
    are running Oracle Rdb releases prior to 7.1.

    To read the DCL help topics that were written for the standard
    kit for a particular version of Oracle Rdb, you must:

    1. Set your default environment to the Oracle Rdb standard kit.
       For example:

       $ @SYS$LIBRARY:RDB$SETVER S

       This step is optional if you are already in the default
       environment for the standard kit.

    2. Type HELP and the name of the topic you want help on, as
       follows:

       $ HELP SQL

       $ HELP RDB

       $ HELP RMU

       $ HELP SQL_SERVICES

       $ HELP RDBPRE

       $ HELP RDML

       $ HELP RDO

2  –  Multiversion Kit

    When one or more Oracle Rdb multiversion kits are installed on
    your system, you can read the DCL help topics that were written
    for each multiversion kit.

    Suffixes are added to DCL help topics when multiversion kits for
    one or more versions of Oracle Rdb are installed on a system.
    These suffixes are numbers that identify the topic as being
    written for a particular version of Oracle Rdb.

    To read the DCL help topics that were written for the
    multiversion kit for a particular version of Oracle Rdb, you
    must:

    1. Set your default environment to the multiversion kit for the
       version of Oracle Rdb that you want help on. For example:

       $ @SYS$LIBRARY:RDB$SETVER 7.1

       This step is optional if you are already in the default
       environment for the multiversion kit for the version of Oracle
       Rdb for which you want help.

    2. Type HELP and the name of the topic you want help on. For
       example, to read the DCL help topics for the Oracle Rdb V7.1
       multiversion kit, type the following:

       $ HELP SQL72

       $ HELP RMU72

       $ HELP RDBPRE72

       $ HELP RDO72

       $ HELP RDML72
