[comp.databases] INGRES 5.0

INGRES 5.0 ('87) for SunOs 3.xx (3.5 used here)

I have a question about the INGRES/MENU, which is started
with: rtingres <databasename>.
One option of the INGRES/MENU, TABLES, allows you to create,
manipulate or to lookup tables in the database.

My problem is: 	After the creation of a table, you can enter
		the column specifications including the data
		formats (types).
		The installation supports both SQL and QUEL
		database languages. The default database is
		QUEL (data type vchar() results in an error-
		message).

		How do you switch to SQL-mode ????

If you know the answer, please send it to ...!hp4nl.nluug.nl!ktibv!nick
Thanks!
