Hi, If you are using Oracle on Linux, then you cannot use ed or edit command to edit statemets. -Aruna

Can't use ed or edit to edit commands if you use Oracle on Linux?!?That's bull. All you have to do is define _editor; I use SQL*Plus on Linux all the time and edit works fine.

   If you are using Oracle in Unix or Linux ,make an entry in the

glogin.sql file for your default editor.

define_editor=vi

You will find glogin.sql in OracleHome/sqlplus/admin directory.

there are two way u can give:

1) sql> define_Editor = 'Notepad';

2) go to menu editor editor-> define editor-> give the name that u want to appear i.e notepad or wordpad in the text box.

For Linux or Unix.
SQL>define_editor=vi;

In SQL prompt, Type
define_editor=vi in UNIX or
define_editor=notepad in XP

You just copy the SQLPlusw file and copy in another location and access from that copied file.
I think you will not get the ed or edit problem.

Is there any way to fix the ed command issue or every time we need to use define_editor=command.
Is there any permanent solution so please tell me.
