I am new to using SqlPlus but not new to using SQL, and I get the following error after writing this in my editor and attempting to run the script that I wrote. All of this appears to be valid and works on sql fiddle... I am not sure what the issue is. Any ideas?? None of the files I create seem to work....
SQL> start sales.sq;
which contains
1 create table salesreps 2 (empl_num number(3,0) primary key, 3 name varchar2(15) not null, 4 age number(3,0), 5 rep_office number(2,0), 6 title varchar2(10), 7 hire_date varchar2(10) not null, 8 manager number(3,0), 9 quota number(10,2), 10 sales number(10,2) not null);
