Getting Help

To access online help for SQL*Plus commands, you can type HELP followed by the command name at the SQL command prompt. For example:

SQL> HELP ACCEPT

To display a list of SQL*Plus commands, type HELP followed by either TOPICS or INDEX. HELP TOPICS displays a single column list of SQL*Plus commands. HELP INDEX displays a four column list of SQL*Plus commands which usually fits in a single screen. For example:

SQL> HELP INDEX

If you get a response that help is unavailable, consult your database administrator. See the HELP command in Chapter 8 for more information.
