APPENDIX

PL/SQL Reserved Words and Keywords
Certain identifiers or words are critical to building programming languages. PL/SQL divides those critical words into two groups: reserved words and keywords. They are listed in the data dictionary with each release and can be found in the
v$reserved_words view.Lexical symbols are also listed as reserved words in the view. They are covered in Chapter 3 and are not part of this appendix.
