That is how it behaves for me with all the database platforms I use it with. A blank line is a delimiter, and it only executes one block of SQL as delimited by blank lines. This can be annoying when you load an SQL script from a file and forget this limitation, or if you accidentally hit RETURN once too often in the middle of a query... :) Be *VERY CAREFUL* of accidentally inserting a blank line before the WHERE clause of an UPDATE or DELETE query... :( Squirrel will execute the code preceding the cursor if it's on a blank line after text (e.g. so you can type a query, hit [ENTER] reflexively, then hit [CTRL]-[ENTER] and it will still execute the query you just typed), but if your cursor is on a single blank line between queries, I'm not sure what happens - I usually separate queries by two or more blank lines to make selecting them a little easier. I've *never* seen it execute from the cursor to the end of the file regardless of blank lines like you describe. I don't know why it wouldn't be behaving this way for you. What database platform is this? Are all your options at the defaults? I suppose it's possible one of the SQL parsing options (query delimiter, perhaps?) got changed from the default and that's causing this behavior. > How can I let Squirrel execute ALL SQL statements on pane regardless of > the current curosr position? [CTRL]-A to select all, then execute. [CTRL]-A, [CTRL]-[RETURN] What is selected (highlighted) is what will be executed regardless of where the cursor is. -- John Hardin KA7OHZ http://www.impsec.org/~jhardin/ jh...@im...
