Adding Beginning and Concluding Titles with the TITLE Statement

You can add some finishing touches to the query display with the TITLE statement.

The TITLE statement lets you specify text that ISQL displays before (TITLE TOP) or after (TITLE BOTTOM) the query results.

The title can also be horizontally positioned by specifying the keywords LEFT, CENTER, or RIGHT; or by specifying the actual column number corresponding to the required positioning of the title. Use the SKIP clause to skip lines after a top title or before a bottom title.

The following example uses two TITLE statements to display a query header and footer.

Example Specifying a Query Header and Footer with TITLE


ISQL> TITLE TOP LEFT "Orders Summary" RIGHT "September 29, 1998" SKIP 2;

ISQL> SHOW LINESIZE -- RIGHT alignment of TITLE is relative to this value:

LINESIZE .................... : 78

ISQL> TITLE BOTTOM CENTER "End of Orders Summary Report" SKIP 2;

ISQL> select c.customer_name, c.customer_city, o.order_id, o.order_value

from customers c, orders o

where o.customer_id = c.customer_id

order by c.customer_name;
