Not the same but similar. I can't get `sqldba' to work at all properly with any terminal window but `hpterm' (with TERM set to `hp'). Is it possible to build your own terminal description files a la `terminfo'? Oracle doesn't seem to understand what an `xterm' is, and I haven't used a real VT100 or anything resembling it in years.
