Comment Delimiters
To indicate comments in interactive SQL, use the following delimiters:
/* and */
For example:
/* This is a comment */
The /*...*/ delimiters allow a comment to continue over more than one line. For example:
/* Everything from here...
...to here is a comment */
--
The -- delimiter indicates that the rest of the line is a comment. The comment cannot be continued to another line.
For example:
--This is a comment.
