Pro*C wasn't installed on the system I'm using for a long time (Well, it isn't really installed yet, even - I installed it on another system.) so I tried using SQL*Plus. It was awful. I was constantly trying to get around the damn page formatting.

Using Pro*C, however, is a dream now that I've figured out the various method types.
