START LOGGING filename

The START LOGGING statement starts copying all subsequent executed SQL statements to the log file that you specify. If the file does not exist, Interactive SQL creates it. Logging continues until you explicitly stop the logging process with the STOP LOGGING statement, or until you end the current Interactive SQL session.

You can also start and stop logging by clicking SQL » Start Logging and SQL » Stop Logging.

Execution times are included in the log file when logging and execution time reporting are both enabled. To enable execution time reporting, see isql_command_timing option [Interactive SQL].
