Click Script to add a script to the job. The script is the executable part of a job and
defines the actions that are done on the database when the job is run. A job must contain
a script.
Important:
The job manager does not provide a script editor and does not verify that the
scripts that you enter are valid. Run the script on a database or use other
methods to verify that the script is correct and that it produces the expected
results before you schedule the job in the job manager.
