Universal Database (netDB2) Introductory Guide


Using the Script Feature

Scripting
The scripting option allows the user to type a series of SQL commands and then execute the set of commands at one go. These commands can either be copied from a file or typed onto the Script Center Window. Visiting the script center can use this option. At the Script center one types in the commands at the Script center panel and run the commands by hitting the Run button. The results are available at the adjoining window.

Commands
INSERT INTO test VALUES( 21, 'ellen' ); 
INSERT INTO test VALUES( 22, 'debra' ); 
INSERT INTO test VALUES( 10, 'debra'); 
INSERT INTO test VALUES( 20, 'albert'); 
select * from test; 
select * from test where i > 20; 
select  count (*) from test ; 
select count (distinct s) from test

Note :
1) Currently each SQL query must begin at a new line.
2) Save your script in a local file and paste into the script window. This will allow you to have a record of your work. You will probably need to save your script into files to submit them as part of your assignments at any cost.
