Coding Environments/Editors

Go Up to Main Page

Rapid SQL provides coding environments that let you create, edit, and where appropriate, execute scripts containing for example, SQL and DDL. These windows are context sensitive to the type of script you are opening or extracting. For example, if you extract the schema for a table, Rapid SQL opens a DDL Window containing the script. If you execute a script, a result window displays containing the results of your execution statement.

The following topics describe use of the Rapid SQL coding environments:

• Common Word-processing Operations describes common editor options such as file and clipboard operations.
• Common Coding Environment Features describes coding environment options such as commenting and working with line numbers.
• Using the SQL Editor provides details on the SQL Editor.
• Using the DDL Editor provides details on using the SQL Editor to generate object-creation code.
