1. SET TERM isn't a DSQL statement. It's a special command that works only in the isql command-line tool. But if you run it in a script box using ib_sql, ib_sql's parser handles it by recognising it and then skipping it.

2. In a DSQL tool you can't run scripts (batches of statements).

3. Don't forget to include COMMIT statements in scripts on any object that you're going to refer to later in the script.
