Hi, I am new to the SQL Plus of 8i.

       I brought up the SQL Plus and log on as a user to make the connection to
       either a database directly or OMS. Then, create a table and insert some
       items. As long as I didn't exit, I could see all the items in the table
       by "select...". But once I exited the SQL Plus and re-enter (as the same
       user) SQL Plus, the items inserted were gone!

       Why didn't the items inserted get persisted?

       Thanks
