RE: Emacs on SQLPlus, er uh... SQLPlus on emacs.

2003-07-30 Thread Orr, Steve
Howdy Jeremiah,

Based on your "testimonial" I have given this a try and am beginning to
see the coolness of it all. 

Regarding...
> There is an emacs OracleSQL mode, but I don't use it.  I just start
emacs, 
> META-X shell, then sqlplus...

I've tried both. Any particular reason for using or not using OracleSQL
mode?

I've only one complaint, (so far :), the output of SQL statement result
sets is slower than just straight SQLPlus. Any way to speed this up? Any
way to interrupt the output?

I use SQL*Plus running under emacs shell every day.  It is my preferred
way of:

- Recording my sqlplus sessions so I can go back and search to see
  what I did
- having an up-arrow comand history capability
- Having line editing capability
- editing SQL scripts in the same window where I am running 
- everything else

I came to prefer emacs because it has capabilities far in excess of vi
or any other unix editor.  Because it is open source software, many
people have contributed over the years, making the package extremely
powerful.  Also, I started on Vax/VMS edt and eve/tpu, which are more
like emacs than vi.

There is an emacs OracleSQL mode, but I don't use it.  I just start
emacs, META-X shell, then sqlplus...

It's never been an issue for me ... tightVNC being the wonderful beast it
is, I've gotten used to in-place editing through a vnc session.  Big benefit
being that a dropped session can be picked up again ... not easy if your FTP
transfer fails :-).  That said, I can see the benefits of bringing the
mountain to you :-)

I was of the opinion that they were pretty much equal until someone
(Dennis Williams?) wrote in reminding me of ue's ability to
open/edit/save a file on a remote host via ftp.  It appears that tp does
that only w/a supporting batch file (yuck!).

Or, for you GPL, cross-platform fans, there's NEdit at http://www.nedit.org
I've made a simple addition to it's extensible config file so that it
properly highlights all available Oracle 8i parameters when editing an
init.ora file.  My v5.3 .nedit file can be nabbed from
http://society.servebeer.com/.nedit

Look for the "Oracle" highlight in the file.  Any additions/corrections are
more than welcome.  Enjoy!

RE: Emacs on SQLPlus, er uh... SQLPlus on emacs.

2003-07-29 Thread Lord David
Ok, I like vi, that's why I turn on vi emulation in emacs.  I use vim for
quick file viewing because it loads faster than emacs.  But, over time, I've
found that emacs gives you a load of little extras that suck you in and
become indispensible.  A few that spring to mind: -

- jde - java IDE, does most things that eclipse will without the memory
footprint and crashes.
- dired - directory browsing including remote browsing via ftp
- sql-mode - sqlplus in emacs
- gnuserve - so you can open up files from windows explorer in a
pre-existing emacs instance.

Yeah, you can probably get all of these from other programs that you use in
conjunction with vim, but you don't get the integration (plus vim's syntax
highlighting is slow.  I've got a 200k perl script that takes minutes to
highlight in vim, but only a few seconds in emacs).  What have you got to
lose (apart from a few months of your life messing with your .emacs).

YMMV

Thanks David, that is pretty good stuff. Where would the .emacs file be for
this so that I can have a look and try and understand the configuration?

I know what you mean.  The best I can come up with is
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SqlMode.  My .emacs has been built
up over five years.   Its not pretty, but I'd be lost without it.

Fortunately, sql-mode comes with GNU emacs (and I'm almost certain, with

I use sql-mode for local databases.  Its got the advantage that you can
'pop' sql statements from another buffer into it, giving you something very
like the sqlplus worksheet.  Its great when you're fiddling with a big
query.

Also, I use emacs with the vi emulation (viper) so I get the best of both

Cool, but it also begs the question as to why SQL*Plus doesn't have line
editing capability?

Even in 9i, unless I don't know the keystrokes to do the line editing

RE: Emacs on SQLPlus, er uh... SQLPlus on emacs.

2003-07-26 Thread Jeremiah Wilton
I use SQL*Plus running under emacs shell every day.  It is my preferred way of:

- Recording my sqlplus sessions so I can go back and search to see
  what I did
- having an up-arrow comand history capability
- Having line editing capability
- editing SQL scripts in the same window where I am running 
- everything else

I came to prefer emacs because it has capabilities far in excess of vi
or any other unix editor.  Because it is open source software, many
people have contributed over the years, making the package extremely
powerful.  Also, I started on Vax/VMS edt and eve/tpu, which are more
like emacs than vi.

There is an emacs OracleSQL mode, but I don't use it.  I just start
emacs, META-X shell, then sqlplus...

RE: Emacs on SQLPlus, er uh... SQLPlus on emacs.

2003-07-25 Thread Orr, Steve
I agree with the developer vs. sysadmin generalization but this was not
meant to be a post about favorite editors... It's about whether anyone
has used or seen a SQLPlus "shell" running under emacs. Has anyone
"witnessed" SQLPlus running under a well-configured emacs session and
have impressions to share?

The statistics I've heard are that 9 out of 10 SysAdmin/DBA's use vi. I
wonder what the breakdown is for Linux admins? Since emacs is easy to
implement I could see it gaining ground on Linux but sometimes old
dinosaur type SysAdmins are slow to evolve. :-)

It seems like DBAs that use Emacs over vi (emacs vs. vi being the
classic UNIX holy war) tend to be people who were introduced to UNIX by
being either a developer or an end-user.  If a DBA favors vi over emacs,
it seems that they generally come from a sysadmin background.  That's
how I ended up a vi user - none of the systems I was ever working on
could be counted to have any editor OTHER than vi.  For better or worse,
its the ubiquitous UNIX text editor.



Of course, there are those who use notepad + ftp

RE: Emacs on SQLPlus, er uh... SQLPlus on emacs.

2003-07-25 Thread DENNIS WILLIAMS
Steve - I've used Unix for many years at many different sites, mostly with
large development staffs. In that time, I've only encountered one emacs
user. He said that emacs had many capabilities, but they struggled several
months getting it even semi-functional. I'm not sure they had it working
when I left, at least he was too frustrated to gloat.
   Mostly I've seen people use something better than vi. If your site uses a
GUI interface like X-Windows, then there will be a GUI editor. Currently
people that wish to avoid vi tend to copy and paste over to Notepad.
   On my first Unix assignment I was doing documentation. So I decided to
write documents on vi. Turns out vi has some great word processing features,
like word wrap. Anyway I used that assignment to learn vi really well and
that has paid off really well over the years. As I said, every site has had
something better than vi, but that something has always been different and
vi never changes. Why tamper with perfection? ;-)

Hi 

I use vi on Unix and textpad on windoze. I like to write macros for vi
so it types repetitive code for me...:-), although I should probably use
an editor with more powerful macro facilities.
