- DESCRIPTION
- _H_e_l_p may be used to obtain sections of this manual, informa-
- tion on the content of the current data base, information
- about specific relations in the data base, view definitions,
- or protection and integrity constraints on a relation. The
- legal forms are as follow:
-
- _h_e_l_p "_s_e_c_t_i_o_n " - Produces a copy of the specified section
- of the INGRES Reference Manual, and prints it on the
- standard output device.
- _h_e_l_p - Gives information about all relations that exist in
- the current database.
- _h_e_l_p _r_e_l_n_a_m_e {, _r_e_l_n_a_m_e} - Gives information about the
- specified relations.
- _h_e_l_p "" - Gives the table of contents.
- _h_e_l_p _v_i_e_w _r_e_l_n_a_m_e {, _r_e_l_n_a_m_e} - Prints view definitions of
- specified views.
- _h_e_l_p _p_e_r_m_i_t _r_e_l_n_a_m_e {, _r_e_l_n_a_m_e} - Prints permissions on
- specified relations.
- _h_e_l_p _i_n_t_e_g_r_i_t_y _r_e_l_n_a_m_e {, _r_e_l_n_a_m_e} - Prints integrity con-
- straints on specified relations.
- _h_e_l_p _d_e_l_i_m - Prints a list of all the delimitor groups de-
- fined.
- _h_e_l_p _d_e_l_i_m _g_r_o_u_p_n_a_m_e {, _g_r_o_u_p_n_a_m_e} - Prints a list of the
- delimitors in each group given, and the patterns which
- they represent.
-
- The _p_e_r_m_i_t and _i_n_t_e_g_r_i_t_y forms print out unique identifiers
- for each constraint. These identifiers may be used to re-
- move the constraints with the _d_e_s_t_r_o_y statement.
