gqlplus is a drop-in replacement for sqlplus, an Oracle SQL client, for
|
||
|
|
UNIX platforms. The difference between gqlplus and sqlplus is command-line
|
||
|
|
editing and history, plus tablename completion. As you know if you have
|
||
|
|
used sqlplus, it is notoriously difficult to correct typing errors and
|
||
|
|
other mistakes in your SQL statements. sqlplus does give you ability to
|
||
|
|
use external editor to edit a statement, but only the last statement you
|
||
|
|
typed. gqlplus solves this problem by providing the familiar command-line
|
||
|
|
editing and history as in tcsh or bash shells, and tablename completion,
|
||
|
|
while otherwise retaining compatibility with sqlplus. Thus, no user training
|
||
|
|
is needed - simply use gqlplus instead of sqlplus. In addition,
|
||
|
|
configuration/installation is trivial: gqlplus is a single binary compiled
|
||
|
|
executable (written in C), so all you need is download it and put it anywhere
|
||
|
|
in your PATH. After that, you'll be ready to use it.
