Up and Running with ALLBASE/SQL

Running ISQL 

Before you can create a new DBEnvironment, you must run ISQL by simply
entering

     isql Return 

at your operating system prompt.  ALLBASE/SQL then displays the ISQL
banner as in Figure 3-1 (some details may be slightly different on your
system):

You should make a note of two things before going any further:

   *   You must always use a semicolon and press Return to terminate a
       command in ISQL.

   *   You leave ISQL by typing

            isql=> exit; Return 

       If ISQL asks whether or not you want to commit work, you must
       reply either Y or N and press Return.  A Y makes the work you have
       done permanent.
