Subject: PRINT statement?
Is there a statement similar to PRINT in T-SQL (MicroSoft SQL Server)?
It would be handy to debug some scripts.
If you're talking about a script that is running SQL, you can simply use the
SELECT statement without any FROM, WHERE, ORDER BY, GROUP BY or HAVING
clauses. For example:
select "Creating Foo table" as "Action";
will produce the following output:
+----------------------+
| Action |
+----------------------+
| Creating Foo table |
+----------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)
If you're talking about an OS script, you can use OS commands to display
things. For example, I have some BASH scripts on our Linux server so I can
use the BASH echo command, like this:
#!/bin/bash
report_date=`/bin/date`
echo "Report Date:" $report_date;
to produce this output:
