Saving and Closing Scripts

Go Up to File operations

In DBArtisan, untitled scripts are named according to the following conventions:

Environment	Default File Name	Default File Suffix
SQL Editor	SQL1...SQLn	.sql
DDL Editor	The object name provided when invoking the DDL EDitor	.sql

Note: If you have set the Auto-Save feature in the Options Editor, a temporary copy of your scripts is automatically saved periodically as you work. For details, see ISQL Options.

To close a script

1. On the on the Main menu, click Close.
2. If you have not saved your script, you are prompted to save the file. Click Yes to save and No to close without saving.

Explicitly Saving a Script

With an ISQL window open, selecting File > Save or File > Save As opens a standard Save As dialog. It lets you save a new script, save an existing script with a new name and optionally with a different file suffix. The following Encoding schemes are supported:

ANSI	UNICODE	UTF-16LE (No BOM)
UTF-16 Big Endian	UTF-16BE (No BOM)	UTF-8
UTF-8 (No BOM)	UTF-32 Little Endian	UTF-32LE (No BOM)
UTF-32 Big Endian	UTF-32BE (No BOM)

Automatic Save Operations

If you shut down the application or close an editor window while there are modified, unsaved scripts, you are prompted to save before completing the operation. The table below describes the options and functionality on the Save Modified Documents dialog

Option	Description
Save All	Click to save documents in all open ISQL windows.
Save Selected	Click to save selected documents.
Invert	Click to clear selection.
Save None	Click to not save documents and close the application.
