Here is an example of how to run Oracle new command line SQLCI tool – a super sqlplus based on SQLDeveloper.
If you installed 4.1 or higher of SQLDeveloper (and included java in the download) in: C:\sqlDeveloper413 here is the command to run sqlcl with /nolog to get to SQL> prompt.
All on one line:
C:\sqlDeveloper413\jdk\jre\
bin\java -Djava.awt.headless=true -Dapple.awt.UIElement=true -jar C:\sqldeveloper413\sqlcl\lib\ oracle.sqldeveloper.sqlcl.jar /nolog
Simply modify the SQLDeveloper home parts of the command – substitute your home for C:\sqldeveloper413
connect string syntax can be accomplished with either of the following formats:
connect [USER/PASSWORD]@[HOST][:PORT]:SID
connect [USER/PASSWORD]@//[HOST][:PORT]/SERVICE
Hope this helps, Mike
