Modifying the contents of a file and saving it

I have a file with the following content:
--------------------

SQL> @DBmonitor_WMHA_SQL_script.sql;
 
Tablespace                      Size (GB)  Free (GB)     % Free     % Used      
------------------------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------      
WMHAIT_IS                               8          8        100          0      
WMHA_IM                               .98        .97         99          1      
WMHA_IS                               .98         .9         93          7      
WMHA_DS                             10.98        9.5         87         13      
WMHAPP_IS                              .1        .08         85         16      
WMHAPP_DS                            8.93       7.19         80         20      
WMHAIT_DS                              32      24.05         75         25      
WMHA_DM                               348      37.49         11         89      
SQL> 
SQL> EXIT;
 
 
 
SQL> @DBmonitor_WMOPT_SQL_script.sql;

Question: I want to get rid of all 'SQL>' and re-saving it. Please help me with the command. I tried using tr command, but its disturbing other texts starting with 'S'..which I didnt expect.

 
$ sed 's,^SQL>,,' input.txt
 @DBmonitor_WMHA_SQL_script.sql;
Tablespace Size (GB) Free (GB) % Free % Used 
------------------------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- 
WMHAIT_IS 8 8 100 0 
WMHA_IM .98 .97 99 1 
WMHA_IS .98 .9 93 7 
WMHA_DS 10.98 9.5 87 13 
WMHAPP_IS .1 .08 85 16 
WMHAPP_DS 8.93 7.19 80 20 
WMHAIT_DS 32 24.05 75 25 
WMHA_DM 348 37.49 11 89 
 
 EXIT;

if your sed supports -i then use it like sed -i

Otherwise, redirect the output and store it in some other file.

why not use "sed" ??

sed 's/SQL>//g' file > newfile
rm file
mv newfile file
grep -v "^SQL>" file > temp_file

OR

awk '!/^SQL>/' file > temp_file

then move this file to original file

mv temp_file file

Thanks a ton guys..it was really helpful.
I do have another challange. My file abc.log has the content:
-----------

Tablespace                      Size (GB)  Free (GB)     % Free     % Used      
------------------------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ----------      
WMHAIT_IS                               8          8        100          0

WMHAPP_DS                            8.93       7.19         80         20      
WMHAIT_DS                              32      24.05         75         25      
WMHA_DM                               348      37.49         11         89

Question: What command should I use to get the below output
(only the last 3 lines):

Tablespace Size (GB) Free (GB) % Free % Used
------------------------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ------- WMHAPP_DS 8.93 7.19 80 20
WMHAIT_DS 32 24.05 75 25
WMHA_DM 348 37.49 11 89

head -n +3 filename; tail -n -3 filename
-----------
Tablespace Size (GB) Free (GB) % Free % Used
------------------------------ ---------- ---------- ----------
WMHAPP_DS 8.93 7.19 80 20
WMHAIT_DS 32 24.05 75 25
WMHA_DM 348 37.49 11 89

And Please use code tags for code and data samples.

adopting subramanian's solution

use

head -2 file;tail -3 file

OR

awk 'NR<3
{A[NR]=$0}END{for(i=(NR-2);i<=NR;i++){print A}}' file
awk 'BEGIN{i=1}NR<3{print}{a[i%3]=$0;i++}END{printf("%s\n%s\n%s\n",a[(i-3)%3],a[(i-2)%3],a[(i-1)%3]);print i}' input.txt

You may want to do it all in one go, remove SQL lines, print the header, and print n last lines:

awk '!/^SQL/&&!/^ *$/ {Ar[++i]=$0}
     /Table/,/--*/
     END{for (j=i-nrln+1;j<=i;j++) print Ar[j]}
    ' nrln=3 file
