MS SQL Server - Comments
0 points
In this article, we would like to show you how to use comments in MS SQL Server.
Quick solution:
xxxxxxxxxx
1
-- Single-line comment
xxxxxxxxxx
1
/*
2
Multi-line
3
comment
4
*/
In this example, we use a single-line comment as a code fragment explanation:
xxxxxxxxxx
1
-- Select all users
2
SELECT * FROM [users];
In this we use a single-line comment to ignore a statement at the end of the line:
xxxxxxxxxx
1
SELECT * FROM [users] -- WHERE [name]='Tom';
In this example we use a multi-line comment as a code fragment explanation:
xxxxxxxxxx
1
/* Select all
2
from the [users] table: */
3
SELECT * FROM [users];
In this example, we use a multi-line comment to ignore many statements:
xxxxxxxxxx
1
/*SELECT * FROM [users];
2
SELECT * FROM [products];
3
SELECT * FROM [orders];*/
4
SELECT * FROM [departments];
In this example, we use a multi-line comment to ignore part of a line:
xxxxxxxxxx
1
SELECT [name], /*[surname]*/ [country] FROM [users];
