LIST

Syntax

L[IST] [n | n m | n * | n LAST | * | * n | * LAST | LAST]

Lists one or more lines of the SQL buffer.

The buffer has no command history list and does not record SQL*Plus commands. In SQL*Plus command-line you can also use ";" to list all the lines in the SQL buffer.

Terms

Term Description

n

Lists line n.

n m

n LAST

Lists line n through the last line.

*


Lists the current line.

* n

Lists the current line through line n.

* LAST

LAST

Enter LIST with no clauses, or ";" to list all lines. The last line listed becomes the new current line (marked by an asterisk).

Examples

To list the contents of the buffer, enter

LIST

or enter

;
1 SELECT LAST_NAME, DEPARTMENT_ID, JOB_ID
2 FROM EMP_DETAILS_VIEW
3 WHERE JOB_ID = 'SH_CLERK'
4* ORDER BY DEPARTMENT_ID

The asterisk indicates that line 4 is the current line.

To list the second line only, enter

LIST 2

The second line is displayed:

2* FROM EMP_DETAILS_VIEW

To list from the current line (now line 2) to the last line, enter

LIST * LAST

You will then see this:

2 FROM EMP_DETAILS_VIEW
3 WHERE JOB_ID = 'SH_CLERK'
4* ORDER BY DEPARTMENT_ID
