Interactive SQL has the following panes:
SQL Statements provides a place for you to type SQL statements. If the code you type exceeds the size of the pane, scroll bars appear automatically.
Messages displays information about execution. You can specify Messages options from Tools > Options dialog, including whether to display it as a separate pane or as a tab on the Results pane (the default).
Results displays the results of commands that you execute. For example, if you use SQL statements to retrieve specific data, this pane displays the columns and rows that match the search criteria. If the information exceeds the size of the pane, scroll bars appear automatically.
When you execute queries, Interactive SQL also displays
an Adaptive Server Anywhere query plan in the Plan and optional
Ultralite Plan panes. Ignore these plans for queries against the
IQ Store. Use the IQ query plan in the .iqmsg file
or the HTML query plan.
For more information on IQ query plans, see “Planning queries” in Sybase IQ Performance and Tuning Guide.
