Re: Installing *only* sqlplus on Linux boxes

In order to use SQL*Plus, you need a host of other objects as well (Net8, NLS files, etc.) You are better off letting the Oracle Installer perform a Client Install. Or use the Installer to install just SQL*Plus. The Installer is smart enough to know which other objects it needs to install. Just simply copying the SQL*Plus executable or other files is not enough.
