This manual covers the Oracle SQL*Plus Pocket Reference, a guide designed to enhance the effectiveness of Oracle's SQL*Plus tool. SQL*Plus is a widely utilized interactive query tool found across all Oracle database environments. This reference is particularly beneficial for database administrators and developers who seek a deeper understanding and more complete utilization of SQL*Plus capabilities. It details SQL*Plus syntax, format options, and new features introduced in Oracle Database 10g, providing practical instructions for interacting with SQL*Plus, managing data, and generating reports.

The purpose of this manual is to serve as a comprehensive, on-the-job resource for users of Oracle SQL*Plus. It clearly differentiates between SQL and SQL*Plus, guides users on command-line and browser interactions, and explains data manipulation techniques. Furthermore, it covers report formatting in both text and HTML, the specification of commands and format elements, and query tuning. Updated for Oracle Database 10g, this reference includes new SQL information such as the MODEL clause, flashback queries, partition outer joins, and DBMS_XPLAN, making it an indispensable companion for maximizing SQL*Plus performance and functionality.

The Oracle SQLPlus Pocket Reference is a must-have for anyone working with Oracle databases, especially those looking to maximize the effectiveness of SQLPlus. As Oracle's long-standing interactive query tool, SQLPlus is available at every Oracle site, from the largest data warehouse to the smallest single-user system.
