If you include the command terminator argument (-c), you can choose your own terminator symbol; go is the default value for this option. Always enter the command terminator without blanks or tabs in front of it.
For example, to use a period as the command terminator, invoke isql as follows:
isql -c.
A sample isql session with this command terminator looks like this:
1> select name from sysusers 2> .
name ----------- sandy kim leslie (3 rows affected)
Using the isql command terminator option with scripts requires advance planning:
Adaptive Server-supplied scripts, such as installmaster, use “go”. Do not change the command terminator for any session that uses these scripts.
Your own scripts may already have “go” in them. Remember to update your scripts to include the terminator you plan to use.
