Executing Command Files

Command files are text files that contain SQL statements and are useful if you want to run the same SQL statements repeatedly. You can use Interactive SQL to open, view, run, and save command files.

Execute the command file using one of these methods:

Use the Interactive SQL READ statement to execute command files.
For example:
```
READ temp.sql;
```
Load a command file into the SQL Statements pane and execute it directly from there.
Load command files into the SQL Statements pane by choosing File > Open. Enter the file name when prompted.
Run a command file without loading it by choosing File > Run Script.
Supply a command file as a command line argument for Interactive SQL.
