Simple SQL*Plus help please

Hi,

I'm new to Oracle and SQL*Plus. I've downloaded the student version of Oracle 9i and I'm following a tutorial in my textbook to learn Oracle.

My question is: how do I change the directory that SQL*Plus uses for editor files? If I open the editor and type in a few lines and save it, it has to be in c:/oracle92/bin, or SQL*Plus doesn't recognize the command: "edit ex1.txt", which contains my SQL example. Obviously I'd rather not have to save every file in the bin folder.

Thanks for the help!

I tried right-clicking on the "sqlplusw.exe" icon in the Oracle92\bin folder. I chose Properties from the list. There are four tabs: General, Version, Compatibility, and Summary. However, I don't see any options to change the "Start Destination."

What am I missing?

By the way, I'm using the student version of Oracle 9.2i. SQL*PLUS version 9.2.0.1.0. Windows XP Home.

Hi,

just create a link of the exe to your desktop and you will see the start in in the shortcut folder.


Galit.
