Re: New SqlPlus type utility available for download

[Quoted] [Quoted] I prefer having the results in a grid form, then I don't have to worry about [Quoted] sizing the lines/fields and all those extraneous column headers.

And since I wrote it, I can extend it at will (Delphi is SO much better than Forms). Which is why I wrote a text editor too, so much nicer than the 3-4 programs I use to use for various features - now they are all in one place.

Mine is <500K to download, and <1M when installed (just extract it to a directory and run - though you do need sqlnet/net8 installed and configured, so does TOAD). It has syntax hilighting, remembers the last 20 unique commands, you can display the results in either a grid or record by record, load/save SQLs. I don't usually do table updates except through programs I haven't checked out updates through the gird behave yet. And since most of my use is for simple data mining I don't know how SQLPlus compatible it is, but my goal was a small memory footprint util to look at tables so that I could also run Designer at the same time.
