Delete / backspace within dbaccess will not delete characters

Usin开发者_Python百科g dbaccess via SSH into a fedora server. When I go to Query - New, both backspace and delete do not have an effect.

How can I set up the environment to work with delete/backspace? They work fine in vi.

Edit: Some more info. CTRL-H in vi deletes the previous characer (same as backspace). CTRL-H in dbaccess moves the cursor left one character but does not delete anything.

Finally found the solution! I was using Putty, and the default settings under Terminal-Keyboard was Control-? (127) for backspace. When I set this to Control-H, the cursor in DBAccess goes left one character. It does not remove the character, but this is better than doing nothing at all.
