Re: SQL*Plus Shell mode

In HP UX, you can use the ied command. This gives you ksh-like (vi-like or emacs like) command line editing within an interactive command such as SQL*Plus.

ied sqlplus

Escape takes you out of input mode:
k scrolls backward through the command history j scrolls forward
l scrolls right
h scrolls left
i puts you back into input mode at the cursor position

see the man page

I have not seen this on other unixes -- maybe someone knows of it?
