Re: Pro*C vs SQLPlus script??

Take a look at ORA-Perl. This product has allowed me to do some really fancy work in about the same time as SQL*Plus, is very maintainable, allows password hiding, code reuse, pattern recognition, text manipulation, ... In other words, all of the best features of PRO*C, sqlplus, AWK, grep, ... in one neat package. Steve
