Up and down arrow keys are not working properly when using SQL CLI on Linux

Every time I hit up, down, left, and right arrow keys to return to a previous sql command I got ^[[D, please any hints to fix this issue?
The backspace works fine with me. I tried to use stty to fix this issue with no luck.
Thanks

Which SQL client and Linux version are we talking about?
Assuming you are using the Oracle sqlplus client... it does not support command line editing and history using the arrow keys. For this to work you will have to install a product called Readline Wrapper. See my answer at the General Database forum:
sqlplus command line editing

  • Left and right arrow keys are not working properly now

    I searched the forum and didn't see this posted. My left and right arrow keys are not working properly now.
    For example, when typing, left arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the left), and right arrow does not produce the desired action (move cursor one spot to the right). Also, control + left no longer activates spaces, and control + right no longer activates spaces.
    Interestingly, in investigating the problem, I noticed that my shortcut keys for activating spaces and for activating expose had been changed (software update?). Before, I had set F5 (without pressing fn) for expose and had set F6 (without pressing fn) for spaces. Now, I noticed spaces was set back to the default of F8 (requiring fn).
    The issue persists after shut down, and even when logged on to other users, e.g. Guest.
    All other keys seem to be working fine, including the up and down arrows.
    I don't think it's a cleaning issue because fn + left + right produces the "[" character on the screen.
    Any ideas?

    I'm having the same type of issue on my MacBook except not with arrow keys. The volume keys do different things when I click on them. For example, the mute key brings up the dashboard and the volume up key makes all the open screens smaller (don't know what this feature is called). I did a software update then restarted the computer when this starting happening. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

    Hi Alien004,
    You and Advance23 have pretty much covered everything at this point and I believe that it is a hardware issue. I would advise that you contact HP regarding a possible repair. You can reach HP Total Care at 1-800-474-6836 in North America or start here outside of North America.

    Hi!
    I had that problem with Debian and later Arch, after I messed something up (never found out what). There was a chaotic but easy cure though (I've got no idea, why it did that on 3 different installations the exact same way - might be a logitech-keyboard issue or something... me-as-user-related)?:
    - do all keyboard changes needed in xorg.conf NOW, had to repeat "strange steps" after each change.
    - add new keyboard layout (no changes to default) in gnome keyboard settings
    - delete old keyboard layout
    - browse trough the keyboard layout "previews" of the newly added layout until it crashes (this step might be optional *g*)
    - restart gnome, add "new new" layout, delete "new old" keyboard layout, and set the "new new" layout right (try evdev-manages first, then switch to youkeyboard/yourlocal if that didn't do it).
    good look!

  • My left and right arrow keys are not working

    I am having problems with my left and right arrow keys no longer working. I have tried restarting, running Mac hardware check, and nothing has come up. I haven't spilled anything on it, so I don't know why they have stopped working.

    Sorry I didn't get to this thread sooner. From your posts it actually sounds like you may have a defective keyboard. Going to the nearest Apple store for assistance is a good idea. Be sure to [make an appointment|http://www.apple.com/retail] first or you may have to wait a long time to talk to a Mac Genius.
    Best of luck.

  • Up and down arrow keys do not work

    Hi Guys...I need your help...
    Since my arrow keys (only up and down) do not work anymore on my iMac (Mac OS X 10.4.11)...No matter in which application...
    I have reset the PRAM since I thought that this may solve the problem without any success...does anyone have an idea how to resolve this problem?
    Have I maybe pressed any shortcut by mistake, which can lock these keys?? It is a pain to work without these 2 keys
    Thanks in advance for the help

  • My arrow keys are not working inside flash games

    Hello,
    Whenever I play any flash game, my arrow keys are not working. They work perfectly fine when I am scrolling the site with them, but not in flash games.
    I am using Google Chrome, flash player version 10,3,181,36 and my operating system is Win7 64 bit.
    Solutions I've already tried:
    Use another webbrowser
    Re-install Flash player
    Restart PC
    Try another keyboard
    I have this problem ever since the last Flash Player update.

    Hey there Questionair1.
    It sounds like your arrow keys are not working correctly. I would start with these steps from the following article named:
    OS X Mavericks: If keys on your keyboard don’t work
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH13809
    You may have accidentally set an option that changes how your keyboard operates.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Dictation & Speech, then click “Text to Speech.” If “Speak selected text when the key is pressed” is selected, deselect it or click Change Key to select another key.
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Accessibility, then click Keyboard. Make sure Slow Keys is turned off. If Slow Keys is on, you must hold down a key longer than usual before it’s recognized.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • My down arrow key does not work as it should

    Hello to you.
    My down arrow key does not work as it should.
    When I use my down arrow key is the whole side going down.
    It is annoying when you write that you always end up bottom of the page when using the Down arrow key. I hope I can help me
    I use Windows Vista.
    Yours faithfully

    Hey amghouri,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
    I would suggest backing up and doing a clean reload of the BlackBerry® device software as shown here: http://btsc.webapps.blackberry.com/btsc/KB11320. Please test the keys before restoring any data to the device.
    If the issue still persists after the reload, further investigation might be required. To help further diagnose the cause, contact your wireless service provider or BlackBerry® Technical Support Services for further review and support.

    I am facing problem in playing yahoo pool in Firefox 4 while it was working fine in Firefox 3.6. In Firefox 4 the combination of mouse keys are not working properly.

    I updated to Firefox 4.01 today and the middle scroll button on my Lenovo T400 stopped working. I downloaded the updated Ultranav utility and the Ultranav driver for my T400 from here http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-72858.html and then uninstalled the "Thinkpad Ultranav Driver" from Add/Remove programs rebooted and then installed the updated utility and driver (another reboot) and it now works perfectly.
    So glad to get this working again.
