StripComments

If this variable is set to 0, stripping of /*..*/ and // comments in the script will be inhibited. If this variable is not defined, stripping of comments will always be performed.

Syntax:  

StripComments

 

Certain database drivers use /*..*/ as optimization hints in SELECT statements. If this is the case, the comments should not be stripped before sending the SELECT statement to the database driver.

Example:  

set StripComments=0;

SQL SELECT * /* <optimization directive> */ FROM Table ;

set StripComments=1;
