Change Prompt in Sql Plus

Hi
How can I to change Prompt in Sql Plus for to show Enviroment and user ?

this wont work for a pre 10 client.
there you can set the prompt manaualy and this is not dynamic.
make a login.sql
and place the following in the file.
column sqlprompt_col new_value sqlprompt_value
set termout off
define sqlprompt_value='NOT CONNECTED'
select sys_context('userenv','SESSION_USER')||case when sys_context('userenv','ISDBA') = 'TRUE' then ' as sysdba ' end ||'@'||sys_context('userenv','DB_NAME')||sys_context('userenv','INSTANCE') ||'('|| case when instr(sys_context('userenv','HOST'),'.')>1 then substr(sys_context('userenv','HOST'),1,instr(sys_context('userenv','HOST'),'.')-1) else sys_context('userenv','HOST') end ||')' as sqlprompt_col from dual;
set termout on
set sqlprompt '&sqlprompt_value SQL> '
after connecting sqlplus will look for a login.sql file in you present working directory or in its $ORACLE_HOME\sqlplus\admin directory.
if you reconnect is needs to be run again because it is not dynamic.
there is no workaround for pre 10g clients

Special character when changing password in sql plus

Hi i'm having a problem with setting password for user's in sql plus. I get a ORA-00922 whenever I try to change a user's password to contain ! in it. See below. Do I have to escape special characters or something or this a bug?

How to avoid this in SQL Plus

Hi All,
I am creting a Stored Procedure and when i run this sentence the SQL Plus requests my the value of the variable 'lolo' and the i want to compile the Procedure, without giving that value.
1 create procedure hh
2 as
3 begin
4 DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('&lolo');
5* end;
SQL> /
Enter value for jhsdfsd: df
old 4: DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('hshfdhs&jhsdfsd');
new 4: DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('hshfdhsdf');
Nelson Soler

Although V's solution (V, nice to see you back by the way), will allow you to compile the proc with the ampersand character, I suspect that the stored proc will not do what you expect.
If you are expecting it to prompt for a value of lolo when you run it, it won't.
SQL> SET DEFINE ^
SQL> CREATE PROCEDURE hh AS
2 BEGIN
3 DBMS_OUTPUT.Put_Line('&lolo');
4 END;
5 /
Procedure created.
SQL> SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
SQL> exec hh
&lolo
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.You cannot prompt for values in PL/SQL.

How to control layout in SQL*plus command

Hi, All,
I use SQL*plus to generate a simple report
BREAK ON <column1> duplicates skip page ON REPORT
COMPUTE COUNT LABEL 'Total number of trader shown on this report for this :' OF <column2> On <column1>
it shows '********' and '-------------------' above the lable and compute result.
Can I take '******' and '----------------' off
and the label can not longer than the length of <column1>, otherwise it will be truncated.
what if it is longer than the length of <column1>
and I don't want to change the layout of <column1> ?
Thanks

Peter,
FYI, this forum is dedicated for Oracle Reports issues. There's another forum dedicated to SQL*Plus - I believe it's now called iSQL*Plus, btw. You should try your question in the other forum.

How do i access the SQL*plus

hello, i am having problems accessing my SQL*plus: its asking for a login name, password and some host string what is this? someone please help
thank you
A.

I have only begun to learn database related fields. I have downloaded the iSQL*Plus (from this Oracle site), but am unable to use it due to complications in installing this product. How does one access the Oracle server? I trying to access it via my home PC (w/ windows98). Do I need to purchase additional software on my own? if so which one? How would any of you suggest I go about learning the PL/SQL (on my own as classes won't fit in schedule) ? Appreciate your help.

How to change the default sql servery query name?

Whenever we click on new query button, Sql server automatically opens a new query with default name SQLQuery1.sql.
Can I change this default name? What I mean to say is I have to work with quite a number of databases on different servers. So I open multiple queries on different server. So I was finding a way where whenever I click on
New Query button it inherits servername or database name (e.g If I have database name like ABCD new query name should look like ABCDquery.sql ?)
So that I can distinguish which query belong to which Database?
I would be very greateful if you can please answer this.
Many thanks

Please try with different color code option for your servers:
Ref: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213617.aspx
Set the Status Color for a Server in Object Explorer
To set a server status color in Object Explorer
In Object Explorer, select the Connect button and then select Database
Engine….
On the Connect to Server dialog, select Options >>.
Select the Use custom color check box.
To select the color, select the Select… button.
Select either a basic or custom color, then select OK.
Fill in the rest of the connection information, and then select the Connect button.
Note: This is to identify different server connected not for databases.

How to get Arabic dates in SQL*Plus?

I want to do a very simple thing.
I want to type in Arabic and Display dates in Arabic.
Instead i get ????? ??????? ????? ??????? ? ? ???????, ????? for this?
Why is this?
I then changed my Windows XP "Regional and Language Options" all to Arabic. Now, I get AR (Arabic) in my language selection bar at the bottom of the Desktop. When I choose AR I can type Arabic in Notepad. ُ
Even HERE I can type in Arabic: فغحث غخعق ةثسسشلث اثقث
But in Sql*PLus I get ????? ??????? ????? ??????? ? ? ???????, ?????
If I choose AR in SQL Plus and type in Arabic I get garbage characters?

How to connect from sql*plus to Sql Server

Dear Profs.
How I can connect from sql*plus v8 on my local pc(Win XP) to Sql Server Express 2005 light weight installed in same local pc ?
Thanks,
Ahmed.

You'll need to setup heterogeneous services. This is done by creating an init file for the SQL Server db with %ORACLE_HOME%\hs\admin that refers to a DSN for the Sql Server Database. The listener would also need an entry for the SQL Server DB DSN. After that you would create a dblink to SQL Server in your Oracle instance and then could query across the dblink.

Need help in sql plus

i install in my computer the oracle9i
my problem is that : i can login to sql plus
althoge i was tring all the passwords that i know
scott/tiger
sys/change_on_install
system/manager and the result is allways the same
ora-12560 error
how can i solve that problem?
did i missed somthing during the installation?

Thank you to EVERYONE!!
I have been searching every possible forum to find out how to install/run SQL *Plus on a home computer without a server/network to work within. As most just learning, I could not figure out how to get past the SQL Plus Username/Password/Host String logon.
After much trial and error, I got through and I hope this helps a lot of people just starting out.
I used 'SYSTEM' as my username and my password created on install.
When installing I created a database and fixed the password so my default password was the password I created on install.
As long as I had those two fields filled in, I could leave the Host String blank and I could still get into the SQL Plus workspace.
Since I also created a database on install, I found that I could also use the name I gave the installed database (I didn't leave the default database name so I do not remember what the default name was, but I think the default password was 'manager' for those who were not tempted to change it).
Worst case scenario if you forgot your database name given during install, you can do a search for all of your .ora files (usually in the drive you installed Oracle on). Open the tnsnames.ora file in Notepad and you can see which database names are available on your system. The path to my file was:
D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\network\admin\tnsnames.ora
You want the SERVICE_NAME = 'databasename'
I hope this reduced someone's stress...and thanks for all the helpful hints on these threads...they led me to the final outcome!!
In the end, I tried a lot of other combinations for the username/host strings with plenty of errors. You would think this information would be on page one of every Oracle install!! Or maybe it is and I am just a bit slow. : )
Thanks again to all that posted with this initial question (years ago)...

SQL plus and Spatial tables

I have some spatial tables in 10g. I can use 'select query' on non spatial attributes but if try
select * or
select geom then my SQL plus gives error ::
Program Error - sqlplusw.exe has generated errors and will be closed by Windows. You will need to restart the program. An error log is being created.
<Cancel>
But I am able to use isqlplus without any errors.
Earlier SQL plus used to work fine. I don't understand what happened to it in between.
How can I bring my SQL plus working again.

I created a copy for a spatial table using.
create table copy as select * from original, and it was successful .
Other than that I haven't done anything other than select queries.
