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):

   isql=>

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.
