SQL*Plus Installation SQL*Plus Installation SQL*Plus Date Format Who Can Use SQL*Plus SQL*Plus is a component of Oracle Database. SQL*Plus, and its command-line user interface, Windows GUI, and iSQL*Plus web-based user interface are installed by default when you install the Oracle Database. Some aspects of Oracle Database and SQL*Plus differ from one computer and operating system to another. These topics are discussed in the Oracle Database Installation Guide for each operating system that SQL*Plus supports. Keep a copy of your Oracle Database Installation Guide available for reference. The default date format in SQL*Plus is determined by the database NLS_DATE_ FORMAT parameter and may use a date format displaying two digit years. You can use the SQL TO_CHAR function, or the SQL*Plus COLUMN FORMAT command in your SELECT statements to control the way dates are displayed in your report. The SQL*Plus, SQL, and PL/SQL command languages are powerful enough to serve the needs of users with some database experience, yet straightforward enough for new users who are just learning to work with the Oracle Database. The SQL*Plus language is easy to use. For example, to rename a column labelled LAST_NAME with the heading "Family Name", enter the command: COLUMN LAST_NAME HEADING 'Family Name' Similarly, to list column definitions for the EMPLOYEES table, enter the command: DESCRIBE EMPLOYEES 1-4 SQL*Plus User’s Guide and Reference

How to Use the SQL*Plus Guide This guide provides information about SQL*Plus that applies to all operating systems. It also includes some Windows and UNIX specific information, for example, the Windows Graphical User Interface. Some aspects of SQL*Plus differ on each operating system. Such operating system specific details are covered in the Oracle Database Installation Guide provided for your system. Use these operating system specific guides in conjunction with this SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference. Throughout this guide, examples showing how to enter commands use a common command syntax and a common set of sample tables. The tables are described in "Oracle Database Sample Schemas and SQL*Plus" on page 1-5. The conventions used in command examples are described in "Conventions" on page -xxiv. Oracle Database Sample Schemas and SQL*Plus Sample schemas are included with Oracle Database. The tutorial and examples in this guide use the EMP_DETAILS_VIEW view of the Human Resources (HR) sample schema. This schema contains personnel records for a fictitious company. To view column details for the view, EMP_DETAILS_VIEW, enter DESCRIBE EMP_DETAILS_VIEW For more information about the sample schemas, see the Oracle Database Sample Schemas guide.
