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
