[cx-oracle-users] sqlminus -- like sqlplus, but less!

[Mark H. <mh...@pi...>]

The other day I finally got so fed up with sqlplus
and its dumb table formatting I wrote a mini-version
that does pretty much the same thing, except:

- nice table formatting
- command line editing
- table completion for tables, columns
- login aliases

It's easy to install, just download a single file.

I've stuck the preliminary release here:

     http://markharrison.net/orapig/

If you're interested in trying it out, can you give it
a go and let me know if it works for you?

thanks,
Mark
