Print text in Oracle SQL Developer SQL Worksheet window

Question

I am using Oracle SQL  in SQLDeveloper  using the SQL Worksheet    I would like to print a statement before my select  such as  PRINT  Querying Table1   SELECT   from Table1    What do I use to Print   show text output   It s not Print  because that gives me the error  Bind Variable Table1 is NOT DECLARED   DBMS OUTPUT PUT LINE is an unknown command    Obviously  I m an inexperienced SQLDeveloper and Oracle user   There must be some synonym for Print  but I m having trouble finding help on it without knowing what it is

The main answer left out a step for new installs where one has to open up the dbms output window     Then the script I used   dbms output put line  Start        Another script   set serveroutput on format wrapped  begin     DBMS OUTPUT put line  jabberwocky    end

If you don t want all of your SQL statements to be echoed  but you only want to see the easily identifiable results of your script  do it this way   set echo on REM MyFirstTable set echo off delete from MyFirstTable  set echo on REM MySecondTable set echo off delete from MySecondTable   The output from the above example will look something like this   -REM MyFirstTable 13 rows deleted  -REM MySecondTable 27 rows deleted
