Re: Why does script have more than one slash(/) inside?

Each '/' on a line by itself, at the beginning of the line, will re-execute the
SQL statement in the sqlplus buffer.

try this:

select * from dual
/
/
/
/

Sorry if I bore you all with my dumb questions, its just that the simplest and silliest things appear complex, if we dont know them... Often when I learn something, I go : was that all? and they go, yes, yes, that was all... Well, let me show you what I mean..

What does it mean when a .sql script has more than one slashes(/) inside it?
