Add comments to an sql script.
Syntax:
REMARK Single line comment
-- Single line comment
/* Single line comment */
/*
Multi Line
comment
*/
A common mistake is to use /* but not followed by a space (or newline) this
will be interpreted as "/" and will execute the previous SQL command.
Although the actual comment will be ignored this behaviour can have significant
unexpected results:
even if there's no previous command to execute then Oracle will error with "Nothing
in SQL buffer to run".
UNIX style comments ( # at the beginning of a line) don't work - Oracle will
interpret and execute the whole line. They do however work for import
and export parameter files.
