RE: Is it possible???

if you are on 8i, then you can define rules in product_user_profile for preventing users from using sql*plus. like:
    -insert into system.product_user_profile(product, userid, attribute, char_value)
  2  values ('SQL*Plus', 'user', 'SELECT', 'DISABLED');

1 row created.

    -insert into system.product_user_profile(product, userid, attribute, char_value)
  2  values ('SQL*Plus', 'user', 'UPDATE', 'DISABLED');

1 row created.

    -insert into system.product_user_profile(product, userid, attribute, char_value)
  2  values ('SQL*Plus', 'user', 'DELETE' , 'DISABLED');

1 row created.

    -insert into system.product_user_profile(product, userid, attribute, char_value)
  2  values ('SQL*Plus', 'user', 'INSERT', 'DISABLED');

1 row created.

    -COMMIT; rgds
