In response to silence and failure of SQL commands  ("John Payne" <jcpayne@uw.edu>)

One subtle aspect of this is that I did the same thing wrong several times in a row:

 

1.        I enter an SQL command without a semicolon.  No response.  (I fail to notice the cursor change from => to ->)

2.       I enter another SQL command without a semicolon.  No response, and this time, the cursor is already ‘->’, so NOTHING changes.

3.       I enter another SQL command without a semicolon…no response, nothing changes.

4.       Etc.

 

I don’t know how useful it is to be able to split commands over many lines, but maybe after you’ve hit Enter without a semicolon several times it could give you more of a prompt.
