Subject: possible to set continuation prompt in sql*plus?
Greetings all,
I've set up my login.sql so that my prompt shows my username & the sid of the db to which I'm connected. This works well, but has made it tough to drag-select text b/c now the first line sticks way out relative to the continuation lines, like so:
rpardee_at_prod> select username
2 from dba_users
3 where username like '%MC%' ;
Is it possible to specify the prompt that shows on continuation lines (or otherwise pad it out) in sql*plus?
Thanks!
