Download and install <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/gqlplus/" target="_blank">gqlplus</a>. gqlplus is a replcement for sqlplus which supports completion for commands/tablenames and column names. Quite useful.</p> <figure style="width: 240px" class="wp-caption alignright"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/55793144@N00/44959557" target="_blank"><img class="zemanta-img-inserted zemanta-img-configured" title="Oracle SQL*Plus" src="https://i0.wp.com/farm1.static.flickr.com/26/44959557_8db407a4ae_m.jpg?resize=240%2C189" alt="Oracle SQL*Plus" width="240" height="189" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><figcaption class="wp-caption-text">Oracle SQL*Plus (Photo credit: Manuel Cernuda)</figcaption></figure> <h6 class="zemanta-related-title" style="font-size: 1em;"> Related articles </h6> <ul class="zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image" style="margin-left: 0;"> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li" style="overflow: hidden; list-style: none; margin-top: 10px;"> <a href="http://compscicafe.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/2-gb-limit-oracle-unix/" target="_blank"><img style="padding: 0; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; border: 0; display: block; float: left;" src="https://i0.wp.com/i.zemanta.com/noimg_13_80_80.jpg?w=688" alt="" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a style="display: block;" href="http://compscicafe.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/2-gb-limit-oracle-unix/" target="_blank">2 GB File limit on writing file using Oracle SQLPlus in Unix</a><span style="display: block; font-size: 12px; margin: 10px 0 10px 0;">(compscicafe.wordpress.com)</span> <div style="clear: both;"> <hr style="margin: 0;" /> </div> </li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li" style="overflow: hidden; list-style: none; margin-top: 10px;"> <a href="http://sqlandplsql.com/2012/06/27/find-version-of-oracle/" target="_blank"><img style="padding: 0; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; border: 0; display: block; float: left;" src="https://i2.wp.com/i.zemanta.com/noimg_06_80_80.jpg?w=688" alt="" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a style="display: block;" href="http://sqlandplsql.com/2012/06/27/find-version-of-oracle/" target="_blank">Find version of Oracle</a><span style="display: block; font-size: 12px; margin: 10px 0 10px 0;">(sqlandplsql.com)</span> <div style="clear: both;"> <hr style="margin: 0;" /> </div> </li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li" style="overflow: hidden; list-style: none; margin-top: 10px;"> <a href="http://hs2n.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/oracle-using-sqlplus-and-sqlldr-on-databases-without-tnsnames-entry/" target="_blank"><img style="padding: 0; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; border: 0; display: block; float: left;" src="https://i2.wp.com/i.zemanta.com/noimg_04_80_80.jpg?w=688" alt="" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a style="display: block;" href="http://hs2n.wordpress.com/2012/06/12/oracle-using-sqlplus-and-sqlldr-on-databases-without-tnsnames-entry/" target="_blank">Oracle: Using SQLPLUS and SQLLDR on databases without TNSNAMES entry</a><span style="display: block; font-size: 12px; margin: 10px 0 10px 0;">(hs2n.wordpress.com)</span> <div style="clear: both;"> <hr style="margin: 0;" /> </div> </li> <li class="zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li" style="overflow: hidden; list-style: none; margin-top: 10px;"> <a href="http://www.bobbydurrettdba.com/2012/07/12/newer-sqlplus-versions-give-better-plan-output/" target="_blank"><img style="padding: 0; margin: 0 10px 10px 0; border: 0; display: block; float: left;" src="https://i1.wp.com/i.zemanta.com/noimg_14_80_80.jpg?w=688" alt="" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a><a style="display: block;" href="http://www.bobbydurrettdba.com/2012/07/12/newer-sqlplus-versions-give-better-plan-output/" target="_blank">Another Reason Why You Should Upgrade Your Oracle Client Software</a><span style="display: block; font-size: 12px; margin: 10px 0 10px 0;">(bobbydurrettdba.com)</span> <div style="clear: both;"> <hr style="margin: 0;" /> </div> </li> </ul> <div class="zemanta-pixie" style="margin-top: 10px; height: 15px;"> <a class="zemanta-pixie-a" title="Enhanced by Zemanta" href="http://www.zemanta.com/?px"><img class="zemanta-pixie-img" style="border: none; float: right;" src="https://i1.wp.com/img.zemanta.com/zemified_e.png?w=688" alt="Enhanced by Zemanta" data-recalc-dims="1" /></a> </div>
