Because error messages are updated frequently, documentation is
provided in the following text files:
o SQL messages:
In SYS$HELP:SQL$MSGnn.DOC
where nn is the current version number for Oracle Rdb.
This file contains the same text as the Help Errors help topic
in interactive SQL.
o RDB messages:
In SYS$HELP:RDB_MSGnn.DOC
where nn is the current version number for Oracle Rdb.
o RDMS messages:
In SYS$HELP:RDMS_MSG.DOC
o COSI messages:
In SYS$HELP:COSI_MSG.DOC
o SQL/Services messages:
In SYS$HELP:SQLSRV$MSG.DOC
o Repository messages:
In SYS$HELP:CDD_MSG.DOC
The message documentation for all the facilities follows the same
format, with messages alphabetized by message name. After the
message name and text, the documentation includes an explanation
and suggested user action.
The online message documentation files may be updated even if
you do not install a new version of SQL. In particular, any
installation of Oracle Rdb databases may replace the RDB_MSG.DOC
file with one that is more up-to-date.
You can print the online message documentation files for
reference. In addition, you can search the files for the message
information you need.
