SQL*Plus doesn't support up arrow for bringing back commands. You can run sqlplus in a DOS window, but then the up arrow brings back lines, not whole statements.
SQLpal meets the following basic needs:
- up arrow brings back previous command
- results are displayed in a grid
- does not require Oracle client to be installed
- does not require tnsnames.ora, instead just enter the host port and sid
- displays which database you are connected to, on the title bar
- can open multiple windows for connecting to multiple databases
- read-only schema browser, supports editing PL/SQL functions, procedures
- F7 to view command history
- can bookmark frequent used sql statements
- hot key for frequently used sql statements
- save grid as html
- one click to open result grid in Excel
- also has a scratchpad window with syntax highlighting
Please try it and let me know if you consider this a good replacement for SQL*Plus. If not what can we add to meet your needs?
