Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: SQLPlus -- replacement tool
I use "vim". It has "set syntax=oracle" command, or, my favorite, "set syntax=perl",
and it isn't as expensive as UltraEdit32. I have yet to find an editor capable of
supporting regular expressions as well as "vi". And you know what: it's everywhere
where I go. There is a "vi" version for everything, with the possible exception of
IBM mainframe. IBM mainframes have been appropriately named: the latest and the greatest
is called "T-Rex" (not a joke, it's true). Asteroid is traveling fast and Jurassic is
coming to an end.
