Hello all,

Why cannot I do :-

sqlplus -s scott/tiger select * from emp;

or sqlplus -s scott/tiger "select * from emp;"

Both the cases I get :-

Usage: SQLPLUS [<option>] [<user>[/<password>] [@<host>]]

               [@<startfile> [<parm1>] [<parm2>] ...]        
where <option> ::= { -s | -? }                               


-s for silent mode and -? to obtain version number           

What is wrong above? I need to run the query from command line. How do I modify this :-

sqlplus -s scott/tiger select * from emp;

Rgds,
