Properties For the Character Interface Only

The properties described in this section are available through the character SQL Explorer interface on both MS-Windows and UNIX. The graphical interface does not require these properties.

Pager

The Pager property allows you to change the default setting of false to the override value of true. When Pager is set to false, all of the output data is returned to the screen. When you choose true, SQL Explorer returns the number of lines specified in PagerLimit, which has a default value of 22 lines. You can then page up and down to review the output:

SYNTAX
SQLExplorer> @Pager { true | false }  ; 

PagerLimit

The PagerLimit property allows you specify how many lines SQL Explorer displays on your screen. You can set this value to the maximum available display area on your screen, or to the number of lines you choose to use for output display. A typical setting is 22 lines. For PagerLimit to take effect, you must first set the Pager property to true. If the Pager property is set to the default value of false, SQL Explorer ignores the PagerLimit property setting:

SYNTAX
SQLExplorer> @PagerLimit number_of_lines ;
