Displays the default setting for warning messages. If WARNING MODE is set to ON, SQL flags statements containing obsolete SQL syntax. Obsolete syntax is syntax that was allowed in previous versions of SQL but has changed. Oracle Rdb recommends that you avoid using such syntax because it may not be supported in future versions. By default, SQL displays a warning message after any statement containing obsolete syntax (WARNING MODE ON). To suppress messages about obsolete syntax, use the SET WARNING NODEPRECATE statement.
