Hi...
You cann't run sql statement in command line directly However you can in case of script file.
Make the query as a script file. Then run it on SQLPLUS.
-- c:\test.sql
---------------------------------
select * from emp
/
exit
/
----------------------------------
c:\> sqlplus -s scott/tiger@oranir @c:\test
This will work.
HTH.

Subject: simple sql problem
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,
