\buf-load

Loads an external file into a SQL buffer

Synopsis

\buf-load [-a] filename [dest-buf]

Description

The \buf-load command reads the contents of an external file into a SQL buffer. By default jsqsh will come with an alias for \buf-load of :r, so that you can do:

1> :r filename.sql

to read in the filename. If you do not want this behavior, then you can \unalias :r in your $HOME/.jsqsh/sqshrc file.

Options

--append (-a)

Causes the contents of the file to be appended to the SQL buffer, rather than replacing its contents.

filename

The name of the file to be read

dest-buf

The name of the destination buffer to read the file into. The default is !. (the current buffer).
