Typing Sybase SQL commands

SQL is free-form. There are no rules about how long a command can be, nor where you break a line. In these pages, sections of a command will start on a new line for clarity and readability. At the end of each of these command sections you can either press the enter key to start a new line, or you can press the space bar and continue until the procedure tells you to press enter.

• As you type your command, keep in mind that nothing will be executed until you type the word ``go'' and press Enter.
• If at any time you want to start your command over, just press control-C. This will clear out any partial command you have typed and let you start over.
