SQL*Plus does not have a command history facility. You can edit and re-execute the previously issued command, as explained in the other posts, but that's all.

One feature not explained in the other posts is that if you invoke the SQL*Plus command "ed", it invokes your system editor to edit the command. If you're running client/server on Windows, that'll be notepad. If you're running on Unix, it is configurable using (I think, I'm not on Unix at the moment) the "editor = ....." command in your login.sql file. It defaults to the (not very useful) Unix "ed" editor, but most people change it to vi or emacs etc.

Very useful if you've got a large multi-line select in your edit buffer.
