Product Banner

After you launch Neoview Script and connect to the database platform, the product banner appears in the Neoview Script interface. The product banner displays the version of Neoview Script and the data source to which you are connected:

Interface Prompts

During a session, Neoview Script prompts you to enter SQL statements and Neoview Script interface commands:

SQL>

Standard prompt in SQL mode. You can change the

 

standard prompt, SQL>, to something else by using the

 

SET SQLPROMPT command. For more information, see

 

the “Customizing the Standard Prompt” (page 53).

 

 

+>

Continuation prompt. Continue the SQL statement from

 

the previous line. Use the SQL terminator (a semicolon by

 

default) to terminate an SQL statement. For more

 

information, see “Setting and Showing the SQL

 

Terminator” (page 54). Note: Neoview Script interface

 

commands must be entered on one line and do not require

 

an SQL terminator.

 

 

Breaking the Command Line

You cannot break a Neoview Script interface command over multiple lines. Each Neoview Script interface command must be entered on one line. If you accidentally break a Neoview Script interface command across more than one line, enter the SQL terminator and then reenter the command on one line.
