I am very new to Oracle and SQL Plus. I am trying to type my insert statements in a file I open in SQL Plus by typing the command edit temp.sql. Notepad opens and I type my commands and then save it and close notepad. Then I always get a message that SQL Plus is not responding. I have to close it and sign on again to SQL plus and type start temp.sql. The command runs and creates the rows. But I have to do this every time. Any ideas why SQL Plus would keep crashing? Is it just a bad connection to the server? Thanks for any help!

You need to help us by following the Posting Guidelines as stated below.

I suggest you utilize two windows; 1 being Notepad & the other being sqlplus.

Formulate the SQL statements in NOTEPAD and the CUT & PASTE them into the sqlplus window.

SQL statement can/should be terminated with semicolon ";" characters.

Are you certain that you're exiting Notepad?

SQL*Plus passes control over to Notepad, and will stay unresponsive for as long as Notepad is open.

If you're just editing a piece of SQL, rather than a specific Sql script, you can just type 'ED' and when you save and exit notepad, it will copy the code you were working on straight into SQL*Plus.
