Martin Zaun commented on DERBY-2255:
------------------------------------
I noticed that 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:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/derby/trunk
$ \
> \
> \
>
My preference: ij should display a continuation marker until the terminating
semicolon, regardless of what's been typed so far or not.

> ij should indicate that it is waiting for more input in a multi-line
> interactive statement.

> Many users have been confused by the lack of response from ij when they
> forget to end a statement with a semicolon, and believe that Derby is taking
> its sweet time answering their query, while ij is simply waiting for more
> input.
> This issue tries to address this by adding a short "> " prompt to the next
> line after a newline has been entered by the user without ending the
> statement with a semicolon.
