  Probably the best bit about SQLpal though is the fact that it just unzips to a directory (no install needed), and it connects via JDBC, therefore not needing an Oracle Client install on your PC. Perfect for putting on a USB keychain drive, for use when you've not got the Oracle Client installed on a machine or you want to use something more user-friendly than SQL*Plus.    – Mark Rittman



 

As a replacement for SQL*Plus, SQLpal offers the following features:

  • syntax highlighting (in Scratchpad tab)
  • auto-completion of table names and columns (in Scratchpad tab)
  • up arrow brings back previous command (in SQL Prompt tab)
  • read-only schema browser, supports editing PL/SQL functions, procedures, packages
  • F7 to view command history
  • can bookmark frequent used sql statements
  • assign hot key to frequently used sql statements
  • save grid as html
  • one click to open result grid in Excel
  • can open multiple windows for connecting to multiple databases
  • uncompromising native Windows user interface
  • does not require Oracle client to be installed
  • does not require tnsnames.ora, instead just enter the host, port and sid

Download

Download: sqlpal.zip for Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0

Important: If you get an error when connecting to Oracle you need to update the JDBC driver included with SQLpal. Find classes12.jar in your Oracle installation and copy the file over to your SQLpal directory, replacing the existing file.
