The TERSE batch SQL command sets "quiet" mode. In quiet mode, SQLWizard suppresses the display of command and status messages. It also automatically responds to all prompts with a "Y." In quiet mode, only system-generated error messages are displayed. TERSE operation can be turned off by issuing the VERBOSE command.
The TERSE command must be placed immediately after the query on which you want it to start taking effect. Once a TERSE command is executed, it will remain in effect for the rest of the script, or until a VERBOSE command is encountered. Together, the TERSE and VERBOSE commands can be used to selectively enable or disable quiet mode operation at certain points in the batch file.
