Hi All,
 I'm using Ubuntu linux and am wondering if there's a way to access

 Thanks.


Unfortunately, you can't. This is a missing feature in ij, so changing operating system will not help either.

I usually write sql statements in emacs, and then copy the text to ij. Tips: you can copy-paste many sql statements each time.


Raymond,

I forgot that you can run ij through emacs. I have this in my .emacs file:

(defun ij ()
  (interactive)
  (switch-to-buffer (make-comint "ij" "java" nil
"-cp" (expand-file-name "~/derby/trunk/classes")
                                 "org.apache.derby.tools.ij"))
  (setq comint-prompt-regexp "^ij>"))

M-x ij can then be used to start ij in emacs, and you can use M-p and M-n to cycle through the input history.
