UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 


{18}  Syntax for a variable declaration;
The syntax for declaring a variable is shown as (in part):

  variable_name datatype [CONSTANT] [NOT NULL] ...

This should read

  variable_name [CONSTANT] datatype [NOT NULL] ...

The same error appears in the example of declaring a constant, in the middle of page
18:

  min_order_qty NUMBER(1) CONSTANT :=5;

should read

  min_order_qty CONSTANT NUMBER(1) :=5;
