I am using Linux user, so mainly use Linux terminal to run my SQL queries. If I made a mistake while writing a query in multiple lines, how to move to previous line? i.e., look at the figure attached, In which I made a mistake while writing my first line, how can i move up there to correct it in mutiline mode? ![Screenshot from 2023-07-20 06-10-32](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/codewithmosh/original/2X/c/c659eb0ce7e2b3dcc5a515c5aa2fd453c50fecf0.png) cheers junaid ---

why not use sql workbench? Mosh will do stuff on stored procedures, views, permissions etc later so you will need it anyways ---

Thank you for your prompt response. I am also using workbench on my machine, but i also practice sometimes on terminal. By the way its OK.
