Example

To list the contents of the buffer, enter

SQL> LIST

You will see a listing of all lines in the buffer, similar in form to the following example:

  1  SELECT ENAME, DEPTNO, JOB
  2  FROM EMP
  3  WHERE JOB = 'CLERK'
  4* ORDER BY DEPTNO

The asterisk indicates that line 4 is the current line.

To list the second line only, enter

SQL> LIST 2

You will then see this:

  2* FROM EMP

To list the current line (now line 2) to the last line, enter

SQL> LIST * LAST

You will then see this:

  2  FROM EMP
  3  WHERE JOB = 'CLERK'
  4* ORDER BY DEPTNO
