Oracle Myth 1: What can be done in SQLPLUS, should be able to do in OCI.

Oracle server is a vertical product which is intended to be feature rich and powerful. SQLPLUS is Oracle's in house toolset which is an integrated companion of Oracle server. OCI is a window which Oracle opens developers to access the rich and powerful features of Oracle server.

Can some one clear out a little bit more about the differences? I have a strong feeling that Oracle server and the SQLPLUS tool are implemented using languages other than C/C++ (for example COBOL) because they treat ASCII characters differently.
