Thanks to those who helped solve this mystery. For anyone who is interested, the patch to yasql is at <http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=787467&group_id=19382&atid=319382>.
BTW, if you don't use Oracle but want a reasonably comfortable database shell program, you could try porting yasql to a different RDBMS. It has lots of Oracle-specific special commands to list the logged in users and so on, but the core functionality is implemented using DBI. I know that many RDBMSes already have decent shell programs (psql for Postgres, sqsh for Sybase) but yasql should in theory cover any database that has a DBD driver. -- Ed Avis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
