SqlPlus SP2-0734: Error

Question

I am new to using SqlPlus but not new to using SQL, and I get the following error after writing this in my editor and attempting to run the script that I wrote. All of this

Answer 1

By default SQL*Plus doesn't like blank lines. However we can easily configure our SQL*Plus environment to ignore them:

SQL>  set sqlblanklines on

We can also put the setting in our glogin.sql file (assuming we're allowed to edit it, which isn't always the case).

Note that this parameter doesn't work in ancient versions of the client.
