I use sql-mode for local databases. Its got the advantage that you can 'pop' sql statements from another buffer into it, giving you something very like the sqlplus worksheet. Its great when you're fiddling with a big query.

Also, I use emacs with the vi emulation (viper) so I get the best of both worlds;)
