Example

• The following is an example of retrieving super classes of the 'female_event' class (see Adding a Super Class).

csql> select super_class_name

csql> from db_direct_super_class

csql> where class_name = 'female_event'

csql> xrun

=== < Result of SELECT Command in Line 1> ===

  super_class_name

======================

  'event'

• The following is an example of retrieving super classes of the class owned by the current user (PUBLIC user).

csql> select c.class_name, s.super_class_name

csql> from db_class c, db_direct_super_class s

csql> where c.class_name = s.class_name and

csql>             c.owner_name = user

csql> order by 1

csql> xrun

=== < Result of SELECT Command in Line 1> ===

  class_name                      super_class_name

============================================
