The iSQL*Plus Work Screen
Load Script Click the Load Script button to load the script specified in the Script location: field into the iSQL*Plus input area for editing or execution.
Execute: Click the Execute button to execute the contents of the input area. Depending on the Output dropdown list selection, the results of the execution are displayed, or saved to a file.
Output: The Output dropdown list has three options:
■Work Screen—when the contents of the input area are executed, the resulting output is displayed on screen under the input area. This is the default.
■File—when the contents of the input area are executed, the resulting output is saved to a file. You are prompted to enter the name of the file. As the output is in HTML format, it is useful to give the saved output file a .HTM or .HTML extension.
■Window—when the contents of the input area are executed, the resulting output is displayed in a new browser window.
Clear Screen Click the Clear Screen button to clear all statements in the input area, and all displayed output. It does not clear the SQL buffer, nor does it clear any variable values altered by options of the SET command.
Save Script Click the Save Script button to save the contents of the input area to a file. You are prompted to enter the name of the file. The file extension you choose is for your convenience. It may be convenient to identify scripts with an extension of
.SQL.
