The HELP and TABLE Statements

ISQL supports an on-line help facility that can be invoked by using the HELP statement. Typing HELP at the ISQL prompt will display a help file which will list the options accepted by the HELP statement. The various forms of the HELP statement are listed below:

• HELP - Displays the options that can be specified for HELP.
• HELP COMMANDS - Displays all the statements that ISQL accepts.
• HELP command_name - Displays help file corresponding to the specified statement.

TABLE is an ISQL statement that displays all the tables present in the database including any system tables. TABLE can be used also to display the description of a single table by explicitly giving the table name. Both forms of the TABLE statement are shown below:

TABLE;

TABLE table_name;
