Ingres - isql keyboard command


Expert: Jean-Pierre Zuate - 2/13/2006

Question
Hi Jean-Pierre,

I am looking for a list of isql keyboard commands.  I have some of the commands, but wonder if there is some place where I can go to get all of them.  Can you help?

Thanks,
Susan

Answer
Hello Susan,

I can't find in the documentation where are those command, and I remember there are explained here but I'am not sure. You can try also to press Help (F1 ?) and the try the menu named "Keys".

The link between an action in tools made has isql (like abf for example) depend of your termcap, wich maybe very diferent from a computer to an other if you are running the tool on linux ou unix and depend of your TERM_INGRES Ingres variable setting (see ingprenv, ingsetenv and ingunset).

My experience of many Unix platform make I often choose vt100 or vt100f?. Then I can use F1 or Escape touch to go to the menu and make it turn (each time you press F1 or Escape a new list of menu topics appear). Then you can type the word of the sub menu you want to go.

Explore those lists is also a way to have a complete list of the tool action (in your case isql).

Hope this is clear (cause I'am french and not very sure of my englih) and hope this help you,

Regards,
Jean-Pierre
