When you execute a command, Interactive SQL automatically saves it in a history list that persists between Interactive SQL sessions. Interactive SQL maintains a record of up to 50 of the most recent commands.
You can view the entire list of commands in the Command History dialog. To access the Command History dialog, press Ctrl+H, or click the book icon on the toolbar.
The most recent commands appear at the bottom of the list. To recall a command, select it and then click OK. It appears in the SQL Statements pane of Interactive SQL. You can select multiple commands from the Command History dialog.
You can also recall commands without the Command History dialog. Use the arrows in the toolbar to scroll back and forward through your commands, or press Alt+Right Arrow and Alt+Left Arrow.
NoteIf you execute a SQL statement that contains password information (GRANT CONNECT, GRANT REMOTE DBA, CONNECT, or CREATE EXTERNLOGIN), the password information appears in the Command History dialog for the duration of the current Interactive SQL session. When the command history is viewed in subsequent Interactive SQL sessions, passwords are replaced with ... in any of these statements that contain password information. For example, if you execute the following statement in Interactive SQL: GRANT CONNECT TO testuser IDENTIFIED BY testpassword the following appears in the Command History dialog in subsequent Interactive SQL sessions: GRANT CONNECT TO testuser IDENTIFIED BY ... |
You can copy commands from the Command History dialog to use elsewhere. When you copy multiple commands, they are separated by the command delimiter (a semicolon by default).
Open the Command History dialog.
Select the command or commands, and then press Ctrl+C or click Copy.
Click OK to copy the selected statements to the SQL Statements pane of Interactive SQL.
You can also save commands in text files so that you can use them in a subsequent Interactive SQL session.
Open the Command History dialog.
Click the Save button or press Ctrl+S.
In the Save As dialog, specify a location and name for the file.
The command history file has a .sql extension.
Click Save when finished.
The contents of the Command History dialog persist between Interactive SQL sessions. You can remove commands from the history in one of two ways:
Select one or more commands and click the Delete button or press the Delete key to remove the selected command(s) from the dialog. This action cannot be undone.
Remove all the commands from the dialog by clicking Clear History. This action cannot be undone.
