You can't have the SQL statements on the command line. You must put them
in
a script file (eg myscript.sql) and execute it with the @ sign.
Thus,
sqlplus -s scott/tiger @myscript [note the SPACE between the "tiger" and
the "@"].

Subject: simple sql problem
Hello all,
Why cannot I do :-
sqlplus -s scott/tiger select * from emp;
or sqlplus -s scott/tiger "select * from emp;"
Both the cases I get :-
Usage: SQLPLUS [<option>] [<user>[/<password>] [@<host>]]
[@<startfile> [<parm1>] [<parm2>] ...]
where <option> ::= { -s | -? }
-s for silent mode and -? to obtain version number
What is wrong above? I need to run the query from command line. How do I
modify this :-
sqlplus -s scott/tiger select * from emp;
Rgds,
