RUN

Purpose

Lists and executes the SQL command or PL/SQL block currently stored in the SQL buffer.

Syntax

R[UN]

Usage Notes

RUN causes the last line of the SQL buffer to become the current line.

The slash command (/) functions similarly to RUN, but does not list the command in the SQL buffer on your screen.

Example

Assume the SQL buffer contains the following query:

SELECT DEPTNO FROM DEPT

To RUN the query, enter

SQL> RUN

The following output results:

1* SELECT DEPTNO FROM DEPT

    DEPTNO
----------
        10
        20
        30
        40
