Interactive SQL Classic provides you with an interactive environment for database browsing and for sending SQL statements to the database server. You can either type SQL commands, or run command files. Interactive SQL Classic also provides feedback about the number of rows affected, the time required for each command, the execution plan of queries, and any error messages.
To customize Interactive SQL Classic, change to your home directory ($HOME) and issue the following command to copy the default.tix file into it:
% cp $IQDIR15/tix/default.tix .
default.tix controls key sequences for Interactive SQL Classic and improves the appearance of the command window. See “Shift and Ctrl Keys”.
For Interactive SQL Classic to function correctly, $HOME must exist and must be writable by the user.
