What's the difference between Script Output and Query Result?

A monMar 30 2011 — edited Mar 31 2011
Hello Gurus,

Within Oracle SQL Developer, while running a select statement and executing it with the 'F5 button', I receive the Script Output; And then if I execute the same select statement using 'Ctrl+Enter', I retrieve basically the same data but it's formated a little different. and by using 'Ctrl+Enter' I can adjust and shrink the column size (not the logical/physical structure) on the GUI screen to display all the columns without it being spread far apart. What are the advantages/disadvantages for executing queries using 'F5' or 'Ctrl+Enter'? If anyone could shed some light on this little topic, that would be nice.
