OXLA fully supports comments in your queries. Comments provide a way to add explanatory notes and improve the readability of queries, making it easier for developers and stakeholders to understand complex queries.There are two types of comments in OXLA: single-line and multi-line (block).
A single-line comment in OXLA starts with two consecutive hyphens (—) and extends to the end of the line. These comments are used to annotate specific parts of a query, providing brief explanations or notes to assist in understanding the query.Syntax:
OXLA also supports multi-line comments, often referred to as block comments. These comments begin with /* and end with */, allowing for multi-line explanations or temporarily disabling sections of the query.Syntax:

In OXLA, single-line comments should always be placed at the end of the line they refer to, whereas multi-line comments can be positioned anywhere within the query.Example - Comment on Single Line:
