Getting started with Sql*Plus?
I've spent the last hour trying to figure out hwo I can just get started with Sql*Plus. I just want to know from where exactly I can download Sql*Plus and run sql queries through it (things like CREATE TABLE and such)?

I'm completely baffled, I thought it would be as simple as dowloading it and running but I can't even find something that remotely resembles SQL*Plus from the download page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/sql_plus/index.html

SQL*Plus is part of the Oracle client installation. I think it is also part of the "Instant client" which does not need a real installation.

If you have Oracle installed on your machine you already have SQL*Plus. If you have access to an Oracle server, you can probably get the client (and thus the SQL*Plus) installation from the DBA.

Are you trying to learn plsql or just regular sql. You can just use sql developer to achieve both. If you use oracle 10g you need to download the sql developer if you are using oracle 11g then it already comes with it.

oh right, but the only link I could find to 11g was like 1.7gb. Is there any more smaller versions with just sql plus?

If you don't have Oracle itself (the server) installed, and do not have access to an Oracle server, you will need to download install the complete package.

SQL*Plus will not work without an Oracle server.

I think the download for 10g is a bit smaller (Only one CD as far as I remember), or you can download XE (Express Edition) which might also be smaller.

yeah I downloaded oracle 10g express edition which was about 150mb (I think), oracle 11g on the other hand is 1.7gb.

Guess I'll download it overnight.

So why don't you go ahead with the express edition? It should contain SQL*Plus as well.

You can just download the express edition then download the sql developer separately. Sql developer do need jdk install though.

Note: it's SQL Developer, not Oracle Developer (that is something completely different)
