Thanks for the post. My presentation at Openworld this year included using rlwrap for sqlplus, rman, and asmcmd, but I wasn’t aware of this functionality. I will try it out and add it for the next presentation.

Ah, the good old copy and paste error. Thanks for the tip! I’ll try to upload the sql.dict file in a separate post. The important bit to remember is not too overload it, but keep it to the commands you use often, and those which are reasonably unique. Otherwise you’ll be typing the whole word anyway :)

really nice post! you should only change the link for rhel5 package: both links point to rhel6 package.
can you also post your sql.dict? just to avoid to reinvent the wheel…
best regards
