Explanation

In SQL*Plus, the hyphen (-) is used as a continuation character to break long SQL statements across multiple lines. When placed at the end of a line, it indicates the statement continues on the next line. The other symbols have different purposes: * for wildcards, / for executing previous commands, @ for running scripts.
