Nomenclature Conventions

Go Up to Procedures and Triggers

This chapter uses the following nomenclature:

• A block is one or more compound statements enclosed by BEGIN and END.
• A compound statement is either a block or a statement.
• A statement is a single statement in procedure and trigger language.

To illustrate in a syntax diagram:

<block> =
BEGIN
<compound_statement>
[<compound_statement> …]
END
<compound_statement> = <block> | statement;
