Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

CodeInText: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: "MySQL has a dependency on the libaio library."

When we wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a command line statement, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

shell> sudo yum repolist all | grep mysql8
mysql80-community/x86_64             MySQL 8.0 Community Server  enabled:     16
mysql80-community-source             MySQL 8.0 Community Server  disabled

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

mysql> ALTER TABLE table_name REMOVE PARTITIONING;

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: "Select the Development Releases tab for getting MySQL 8.0 and the choose the OS and version."
