You could assign sqlterminator to another character, or is this, what you
mean with "replace" ?
SQL> set sqlterminator /
SQL> select q'{A,B,C,D;
2 E,F,G,H;
3 I,J}' x
4 from dual
5 /
X
---------------------
A,B,C,D;
E,F,G,H;
I,J

Hi chaps, it’s an anonymised example but does represent an ongoing issue I
have at the moment.
Other than replacing the semicolon with another character, does anyone
know whether the SQL terminator can be turned off? There is nothing obvious
showing up with a „help set“ in sqlplus. I am surprised that this is even
an issue given the multiline string is inside a q syntax block, but it is.
