Hi Adriano,

A wee bit off topic, hopefully Helen won't mind/notice!

In SQL*Plus each statement is terminated by either a ; or a /. Either one means 
"execute now". The / has the additional purpose of re-executing the previous 
statement.

When entering PL/SQL, the programming language statements,  each is terminated 
by a ; so the / terminates and executes the PL/SQL.

No set term is required. These are the default terminators, and effectively,  
for Oracle, the only two required.

In summary, for SQL, use either ; or / to terminate and execute while for 
PL/SQL, the statement terminator is ; and the / executes.


HTH.

Cheers,
Norm.
