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

ij should show continuation marker even after entering whitespace
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: DERBY-3628
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-3628
             Project: Derby
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Martin Zaun
            Priority: Minor


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:

MD@sunny ~/derby/trunk
$ \
> \
> \
>

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

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.

----------------------------------

I agree that the Tools Guide should mention the continuation marker. I'll file a separate JIRA issue for this.
