[[File:SqlPlus connected.png|thumb|command line]]
'''SQL Plus''' is the most basic [[Oracle Database]] utility, with a basic [[command-line interface]], commonly used by users, administrators, and programmers.
Line 36 ⟶ 39:
The first version of SQL Plus was called ''UFI'' ("User Friendly Interface"). UFI appeared in Oracle database releases up to Version 4.
After Oracle programmers had added new features to UFI, its name became ''Advanced UFI''. The name "Advanced UFI" changed to "SQL Plus" with the release of the version 5 of Oracle.<ref>{{cite book |year=2004 |title=Oracle Insights |edition=1st |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=QE5UntUi-4oC&pg=PA35 |page=35| isbn = 978-1590593875|access-date=March 18, 2014|last1=Millsap |first1=Cary |last2=Kolk |first2=Anjo |last3=McDonald |first3=Connor |last4=Gorman |first4=Tim |last5=Hailey |first5=Kyle |last6=Ensor |first6=David |last7=Lewis |first7=Jonathan |last8=Vaidyanatha |first8=Gaja Krishna |last9=Ruthven |first9=David |last10=Morle |first10=James |publisher=Apress }}</ref>
==Usage==
Graphical interfaces from Oracle or third parties have diminished the proportion of [[Oracle Database|Oracle database]] end-users who depend on the SQL Plus environment. Oracle shops typically continue to use SQL Plus scripts for batch updating or simple reports.{{Citation needed|date=November 2008}}

=== Oracle 11g ===
Starting from Oracle database 11g, iSqlplus (web based) and sqlplus GUI no longer ship with Oracle database software.<ref>[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/install.111/b32006/whatsnew.htm#BGGBABGJ Deprecated Components in Oracle Database 11g Release 1 (11.1)], retrieve by 25-Jun-2009</ref>
The command-line SQL Plus interface continues in use, mostly{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}} for non-interactive scripting or for administrative purposes. The Server Manager Command Line {{--}} a replacement of SQL*DBA {{--}} is obsolete and SQL Plus 8i and later allows the user to issue statements like {{mono|STARTUP}} and {{mono|SHUTDOWN}} when connected as SYSDBA. Server Manager 7.1 introduced the command {{code|2=sql|CONNECT / AS SYSDBA}} to replace {{code|2=sql|CONNECT INTERNAL}}.<ref>[http://docs.oracle.com/cd/A57673_01/DOC/server/doc/SAD73/ch1.htm#selectmethod] Oracle 7 doc, 1994</ref> SQL Plus 8i and later allows the use of CONNECT / AS SYSDBA

=== Installation and configuration ===
SQL*Plus needs to be installed and configured on the machine where you intend to use it. This usually involves setting up Oracle client software and configuring network connections to Oracle databases.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Oracle database services and products offer customers cost-optimized and high-performance versions of Oracle Database, the world's leading converged, multi-model database management system |url=https://www.oracle.com/database/}}</ref>
