Ryan,

Some SQL*Plus scripts may need tweaking to work in iSQL*Plus, but on the whole they should work the same. Each release documents which commands are not available, eg, GET, HOST, INPUT, EDIT, SET SQLPREFIX, SPOOL. You can probably see straight away why these commands might not be available in a browser-based interface. Read the SQL*Plus documentation for more info.

iSQL*Plus has some features that command line SQL*Plus doesn't have, like command history, which is one of the top requested features.

STARTUP and SHUTDOWN are available when connected to the iSQL*Plus DBA URL (a privileged connection). If you haven't found this before, change the end of the URL from "isqlplus" to "isqlplusdba". You'll need to do some set up to be able to log into the DBA URL as it is a protected URL by default.
