[Quoted] Hi Daniel,
I'm using SQL/PLUS in my current job as a PowerBuilder programmer. We recently switched databases from Sybase to Oracle8i. Our product is for the Windows market. Last month I purchased "SQL/Plus the Definitive Guide" and have learned alot really usefull stuff, way beyond just editing SQL statements.
Here's my 2 questions:
- Any idea what percentage of Oracle databases are installed on Windows(as opposed to Unix)?
- If I change to a Unix shop w/Oracle will I need to know the SQL/PLUS line edit commands(Up till now I've skipped them and use notepad as my editor.)?
Thanks for you help Daniel.
