In Progress® Version 6.0 or later, the ANSI SQL (
-Q
) startup parameter allows you to redefine the semicolon as a terminator. This startup parameter enforces strict ANSI SQL conformance and allows you to terminate SQL statements with a semicolon. The ANSI SQL (-Q
) parameter allows OpenEdge® to run standard SQL statements and scripts built with other products.The ANSI SQL (
-Q
) parameter disables the use of the semicolon within UNIX escapes.
As a general rule, use the period (.) as a terminator for ABL statements even when you specify the ANSI SQL (
-Q
) parameter for an ABL session.
