You never mentioned a version, did you? Most people here assume everyone uses *their* version, and think we are mind readers. We aren't. We can't look over your shoulder, we can't read your mind, and our crystal balls have worn out long ago. So I assumed 9i, as that is the current version. Sqlplusw is still available in 9i, but it has been desupported by Oracle, and it will be phased out. Whether it is only available in the full client, or also in the instant client, I really don't know. However, knowing Oracle, it might disappear with any future 10G release, so I would avoid using it.
