[jira] Commented: (DERBY-3628) ij should show continuation marker even after entering whitespace

["Martin Zaun (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3628?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12589847#action_12589847 ] 

Martin Zaun commented on DERBY-3628:
------------------------------------

The Derby Tools and Utilities Guide, tools/ctoolsij25986.html, could, perhaps, use some mentioning or example of the continuation marker when it speaks about the need to terminate "statements" or "commands" (one could also say "queries") with a semicolon.

> The continutation marker is not shown when just hitting Enter (or any whitespace followed by Enter) until a semicolon terminates the "query":
> ij version 10.5
> ij>
> ;
> ij>
> Contrast this with the Bash shell's behaviour, which shows a marker as long as the line's being continued:

> $ \

> But ij should display a continuation marker until the terminating semicolon, regardless of what's been typed so far.
