@Sidney i ended up liking the emacs mode (especially the CTRL+R) , but you can use the vi mode too... thanks

thanks Tanel! sqlplus with rlwrap is really appealing.
a little supplement for using vi editing mode with rlwrap
put “set editing-mode vi” into ~/.inputrc

If you like Vim then sqlplus sucks even much less with VoraX: http://code.google.com/p/vorax/

The more the merrier. Even with all these blog posts bouncing around, a lot of people still don’t use rlwrap. Even more use their terminals’ default settings and don’t even set -o vi!

Hi Tanel,

I think you’ll find that blogging about rlwrap and SQL*Plus is a dangerous practice:

This is a lesson I took well to heart at the Hotsos Symposium. Although I have used rlwrap for some time now, I wasn’t aware of how powerful it really is.
Like the others, I took the liberty to write some blog posts on this issue myself.
Thanks for the info!
