How to use sqlcl?

Recently, Oracle announced that we have a new SQL Plus command line anymore! Its name is sqlcl that seems to very useful and powerful tool. So, let's take a look at it at below.

First, we need to download it from Oracle site. After that we may extract the file under C:\ directory then add setup path to "Path" environment variable to reach it from CMD. (e.g. C:\sqlcl-4.2.0.16.131.1023-no-jre\sqlcl)

Now we are able to connect our database by sqlcl.

Here are the commands:
sql hr@//localhost:1521/xe
show all
host cls
select last_name, job_id, salary from employees order by salary desc fetch first 10 rows only; 
set sqlformat ansiconsole
set sqlformat csv
history
history 100


Happy coding! :)
