when given select * from tablename; - displayed all the rows.

now if we give select * from tablename; return - displayed all rows.

but if we give any sql stmt after the qury which used return it is not functioning.

select * from employees; return
select * from employees

if given like this displaying the table only once.
if given select * from employees;
select * from employees; return
select * from orders;

only emp table displayed.

so,plz can u explain clearly.

What the heck are you doing?
Are you hitting thr return key or typing the word "return?"
