# SQL Syntax Conventions

The following conventions are used in the synopsis of a command:

1. brackets **\[ ]** indicate optional parts.
2. Braces`{}`and vertical lines **|** indicate that you must choose one alternative.
3. Dots **...** mean that the preceding element can be repeated.
4. ***lowercase bold italic*** font indicates a placeholder which should be replaced with an actual value e.g: ***table\_name***, ***parameter\_name***, etc.
5. `UPPERCASE COURIER NEW` font indicates SQL language literals (e.g. `SELECT`)
6. `lowercase courier new` font indicates parameter names (e.g. `devices`)

All other symbols, including parentheses, should be taken literally.
