This is in sql * plus.
How can we view and edit a stored procedure, function or a package in SQL * PLUS. I have been using toad all along and suddenly I have to modify a stored procedure and I have ooonly sql * plus here.

just select the content of the procedure from user_source and spool it into a file. after that edit that spool file and run the file by adding create or replace procedure name.

It would be helpful if you give the commands.

The procedure I want to edit is sp_validate_file_group2

Thanks,

>It would be helpful if you give the commands.
Is this another way of saying you don't know how to compose a simple SELECT statement?
If so, perhaps you should only use GUI based s/w such as Access.

I am just giving you the select query:
select text from user_source where name='SP_VALIDATE_FILE_GROUP2';


For other things search in google for SQL*PLUS commands and do it yourself.

Get yourself a copy of SQL Developer and use that instead. It's free, and does most of what TOAD does.

Maybe it was just a bad dream! What happened when you woke up?

hehe,

not necessarily the good ol' days, but at least we learned what it was we do, instead of learning where to click

I am little disagree with MarcL & Frank.
In our days we also learned what we are doing by using SQL*PLUS or other tools.
But it is impossible to use SQL*PLUS or Vi editor for faster productivity environment and also for RAD(Rapid Application Development) for present days senario.
Sometimes we have to do the tasks what we don't want to do..so not necessary to use SQL*PLUS always but knowing the exact syntax to complete the job if necessary is important.

Where do I say that we should always use sqlplus & vi?
My point is that developers should at least for a period of time use sqlplus in combination with a plain-text editor.
Once they know what it is they are doing, then it's fine to use any GUI tool they want. Heck, I use PLSQL-Developer all the time. (But I _know_ where to find sqlplus and how to use it)
