Query Window - Server Side Comments

Aqua Data Studio supports client side and server side comments. Prior to version 3.5 ADS treated all comments as client side comments. Client side comments are comments which ADS removes from an SQL statement before executing (or sending) them on to the server database. Server side comments are comments which are executed (sent) to the server with the SQL statement. The reason for server side comments is to support comments stored in stored procedures. When creating stored procedures that include comments, ADS needs to include the comments in the SQL statement that is executed on the server. ADS supports 3 types of comments:


1: Block Comment -> /* Block Comment */
2: Line Comment -> -- Line Comment
3: Line Comment -> // Line Comment

Aqua Data Studio Server Side Comments
Server Side Comments

ADS comments are configurable ... since different databases support different types of comments. In the options dialog box, a user may select each type of comment to be a client or server side comment per database. You may view what statement and comments will be executed on the server with an "Execute Parse" on a statement/script before executing. Below is a list of databases, what comment types they support and the default value for each database.

BBSSC: Block Server Side Comment
SSSSC: Slash Slash Server Side Comment
