Although Ingres generally operates the same way on all systems, you need to know about a few system-specific differences. Where information differs by system, read the information that follows the name of your system, as follows:

This text is specific to the UNIX environment.

This text is specific to the VMS environment.

This text is specific to the Windows environment.

The symbol indicates the end of the system-specific text.

In some instances, system-specific differences are indicated by using parenthesis ( ). For example: Filename specifies a filename or a system environment variable (UNIX) or a logical name extension (VMS) that points to the file name.
