These people are usually system programmers who may have Database Administrator (DBA) responsibilities. The reader is assumed to have a fundamental knowledge of BS2000/OSD. No attempt is made to document features of BS2000/OSD, except as they affect or are affected by the Oracle Database 10g release 2. Using Oracle Database DocumentationThe Oracle Database products that run under BS2000/OSD are identical, in the way in which they are supported, to the Oracle Database products that run under any other operating system.

As a result of this, Oracle provides two types of documentation:
This manual is written for users of Oracle Database 10g release 2 (10.2) for BS2000/OSD, providing them with BS2000/OSD-specific information on using Oracle Database products. It does not describe how to use a product unless its use is different than that described in the generic documentation. System programmers and database administrators responsible for installing the Oracle Database, or administering the Oracle Database, or both, should read this manual as well as the Oracle Database User's Guide for Fujitsu Siemens BS2000/OSD. There are places where the information in these manuals overlap and is presented differently depending on the target audience.
