I haven't kept this as up to date as I'd like but the stuff that is here is good to know. I'm going to modify it so other people can add sections to it and it can be a living document, but until then this is all you get.
Oracle SQLPlus Backspace Woes For me the backspace was causing a problem it would output the control sequence for it (^H) instead of deleting it. So I googled it and found that it's a problem with the environment. Even though backspace works in my ksh session, it's not being translated properly in sqlplus. So I added stty erase ^H to my script that launches sqlplus and viola!
this is a work in progress
