Hello all, Why cannot I do :-
sqlplus -s scott/tiger select * from emp; or sqlplus -s scott/tiger "select * from emp;" Both the cases I get :- Usage: SQLPLUS [<option>] [<user>[/<password>] [@<host>]] [@<startfile> [<parm1>] [<parm2>] ...] where <option> ::= { -s | -? } -s for silent mode and -? to obtain version number What is wrong above? I need to run the query from command line. How do I modify this :- sqlplus -s scott/tiger select * from emp; Rgds, -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Viraj Luthra INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- (858) 538-5051 FAX: (858) 538-5051 San Diego, California -- Public Internet access / Mailing Lists -------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
