[Q] V7 RDBMS global variables ?

Hi,

Flicking my way through the ORA : Oracle Performance Tuning book I found a reference to RDBMS global variables. They are mentioned in Appendix A, in the section dealing with packaged procedures ( p471 paras 4 & 5 ).

I have had a quick scan through the V7 manual set and can find no further information.

Is the book refering to the use of tool ( i.e. Forms ) global variables, or are there indeed global variables that can be stored at database level ?

If this is a facility of V7 could someone please point me at the correct manual, as this could save my application quite a bit of time.
