Command Reference, 26 of 52
Accesses the SQL*Plus help system.
HELP [topic]
Refer to the following for a description of the term or clause:
Enter HELP without topic to get help on the help system.
You can only enter one topic after HELP. You can abbreviate the topic (for example, COL for COLUMN). However, if you enter only an abbreviated topic and the abbreviation is ambiguous, SQL*Plus displays help for all topics that match the abbreviation. For example, if you enter
SQL> HELP EX
SQL*Plus displays the syntax for the EXECUTE command followed by the syntax for the EXIT command.
If you get a response indicating that help is not available, consult your database administrator.
To see a list of SQL*Plus commands for which help is available, enter
SQL> HELP INDEX
Alternatively, to see a single column display of SQL*Plus commands for which help is available, enter
SQL> HELP TOPICS
