About:
Gqlplus is a command-line utility that acts as a drop-in replacement for Oracle's sqlplus. It enhances the standard sqlplus experience by adding features like command-line editing, input history, and session logging. This tool is designed to improve productivity for database administrators and developers working with Oracle databases.
Key Features:
  • Command-line editing capabilities
  • Session history and recall
  • Automatic session logging
  • Drop-in replacement for sqlplus
Use Cases:
  • Interactive Oracle SQL development and querying
  • Database administration tasks requiring enhanced CLI features
  • Automating Oracle database scripts with improved logging
Alternatives:
  • sqlplus – The standard Oracle client, which lacks built-in command-line editing and history features that gqlplus provides.
  • rlwrap – A generic readline wrapper that can add line editing to any command, including sqlplus, but gqlplus is purpose-built for Oracle.
