Dear all,

I am using Windows 7 and oracle 10g; From sqlplus* I can not use editor (using ed).

but when I see the variable from DEFINE.. It shows that default editor is notepad..

Note: I can use editor in winxp.

Pls tell me... How to get (use) editor ?

Regards,
Morad.

In SQL*Plus issue

define _editor


and check output. For example:

SQL> define _editor
DEFINE _EDITOR         = "Notepad" (CHAR)
SQL> 


Then in command window or using sqlplus HOST command try starting editor that shows us in define _editor output:

host notepad


If editor window doesn't appear make sure editor is on the %PATH%.
