Setting Up Your SQL*Plus Environment

When you install SQL*Plus, LOGIN.SQL is copied to the DBS subdirectory of your Oracle home directory.

When you install SQL*Plus, GLOGIN.SQL is copied to the SQLPLUS\ADMIN subdirectory of your Oracle home directory.

If you modify LOGIN.SQL or GLOGIN.SQL, make sure you do not add any ANSI escape sequences.

Some Oracle products use a LOGIN file named LOGIN.NEW. If this file exists on your computer, make sure you do not use it with SQL*Plus.

See "Setting Up Your SQL*Plus Environment" in Chapter 3 of SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference, which describes the LOGIN.SQL and GLOGIN.SQL files.
