Set default result to single page, 999 rows per page

Question

hi!
im using 10g with windows server 2003.
everytime i start isqlplus, the default setting is to display the result of a select query to multiple pages with 24 rows per page. i like to have my result in a single page. i can change it in the preference but every time i logout and login again, it goes back to multiple pages. i searched the config file but couldnt find the setting to have the default as single page.
is it possible to set the default to single page?
thx.

Answer 1

you need to creat a login.sql file in c:\orant\BIN
then add the line
set pages 999
set lines 2000 ( if you want to set the line size too)
set ..... (all set variables can be set here only)
then invoke the sql*plus via plus33w etc.
your changes will be done
if not then
open sql*plus
SQL>
type host
SQL>host
C:\>windows>
if the command prompt comes with c:\windows then you have to copy the login.sql file in this folder.
it depends upon this directory
this is the working directory for the shottcut you used to open the plus33w
You can write theses lines in glogin.sql in the sqlplus folder of your oracle_home directory
ad c:\orant\plus33 or c:\orant\sqlplus
then it wil be done globally.
Just try
if problem exists then come back
Good Luck.
