Sql*plus is definitely not for demonstration purposes only, it is the swiss knife in Oracle. For front-end purposes there are other tools like Developer and JDeveloper. And JDeveloper is free.

It did, it is called Sql*plus. If you can't live with Sql*plus having been brainwashed by the Evil Empire of Bill Gates, download Sqldeveloper at http://otn.oracle.com

Actually sql*plus was preceded by a tool called UFI. UFI was an acronym for User Friendly Interface.

Anything wrong with the commandline? Will we hear from you again, once you developed a mouse arm, or other forms of Repetitive Strain Injury?

Please read the Sql*plus users manual, and notice you can output in HTML format.
