Thank you. So I downloaded the SQL Plus zip file, too, and put the

files together. That gives me one exe called "sqlplus.exe". Then, I
double clicked that and it opened up in a DOS window (I was expecting
some
windows installer), and that windows asks me for a user and password.
Huh?
Where's the installer, and what user and password is it wanting from me?
The directions don't cover that.

The username and password that the SQL*Plus DOS client you've
downloaded (sqlplus.exe) is asking you for is the schema name and its
associated password. As I mentioned in an earlier post, you should
contact the DBA in question to obtain this information.

HTH

a) I have the IP address and server name. How do I build this into the
username? I never got to enter an IP or anything.
b) I wanted the Windows client. I don't see that specifically on the
downloads page we referenced.
