[Quoted] [Quoted] Let me first state that I find SQL*Plus an excellent and valuable tool which is the basis of my work with Oracle.

[Quoted] [Quoted] One thing that always annoys me though is the complete lack of any kind of GNU [Quoted] readlines-style support. Things like being able to recall the fourth previous [Quoted] query, searching the command history etc. (Yes I know GNU readline would not be an option from a licensing point of view ;-).

[Quoted] Currently my Oracle experience is stuck at 8.1.7, but I was idly wondering if [Quoted] in 9.x SQL*Plus has been improved in this respect? ("Dragged kicking and screaming into the 1990s" as my co-worker succinctly put it ;-) ).

I found this document:
http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10501_01/server.920/a90842/whatsnew.htm [Quoted] and as it says nothing about improvements to the command line interface I presume there have been no radical changes.

Curious
