Oracle SQLPlus [Electronic resources] : The Definitive Guide, 2nd Edition نسخه متنی

Chapter 2. Command-Line SQL*Plus

SQL*Plus comes in three flavors. It can be a command-line program
that you execute from your operating-system prompt. Under Microsoft
Windows, SQL*Plus can also be a command-line application wrapped
inside a rudimentary, graphical user interface (GUI). I refer to that
as Windows SQL*Plus , and it's
only slightly different from standard, command-line SQL*Plus.
Finally, beginning with Oracle9 i Database,
SQL*Plus can be a three-tier application, known as
i SQL*Plus, that you access through a web
browser.

This chapter shows you how to interact with the two command-line
versions. You'll learn how to start them, how to
enter and execute commands, and how to take advantage of the built-in
line-editing features.

i SQL*Plus is different
enough to be covered separately in Chapter 3.
