My SQLSHEL changes from 'sql_cookbook=#" to 'sql_cookbook'#' . How can i change it back to 'sql_cookbook=#"

My SQLSHEL prompt changes from sql_cookbook=# to sql_cookbook'#. How can I change it back to sql_cookbook=#?

Secondly, I just run this command sql_cookbook=# DROP column 'first_name from ali ; and it changes to sql_cookbook'#. Why? Can you give any solution or information?

I just want to revert back to original prompt.

Your command has an opening ' but not a closing one, so everything after the ' is interpreted as a part of a string literal, as well as the linebreak that is generated upon pressing enter.

The changed prompt is a signal, that you are still in a string literal. The command is not finished yet and nothing has yet been sent to and executed by the database.
