I was looking for a tool to access an Oracle database (the lack of readline support in SQL*Plus is really annoying) and stumbled across tora. I successfully did a "yum install tora" , but I can not access my Oracle database, as expected after reading the following in the RPM description:
Tora ("Toolkit for Oracle") is a GUI-based database development program, offering SQL worksheets and a database browser.
Please note that the Oracle plugin is not shipped.
I can't find any instructions on how to get and/or install the Oracle plugin. Most Google queries I found suggest building tora from scratch, but I'd rather stick with using the RPM if possible. In case it matters, I'm trying to access an Oracle 10g instance that is running on a CentOS 4.4 system.
Are there any other tools people use to access Oracle instead of SQL*Plus? I'll use anything that provides decent command line editing (e.g. readline support) and can automatically figure out the size of my terminal. SQL*PLus is pretty brain damaged in those departments.
Thanks, Alfred
