SQL*PLus帮助手册(SP2-0171)

对于经常在SQL*Plus 下工作的大师们而言，总是时不时查询SQL*Plus的帮助命令。着实太多了，记不住。SQL*Plus下直接提供了help命令来帮助描述所有命令的用法。嘎嘎，再也不用查SQL*Plus reference了。对于Oracle 10g缺省情况下，SQL*Plus的help手册并没有被安装，，需要手动安装。Oracle 10/11g下采用相同的安装方式，下面来描述一下help的安装与使用。

1、安装sqlplus help

system@CNMMBO> help
SP2-0171: HELP system not available.

robin@SZDB:~> cd $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/help --脚本路径位于ORACLE_HOME,sqlplus/admin/hlep目录下

helpbld.sql helpdrop.sql helpus.sql hlpbld.sql

robin@SZDB:/users/oracle/OraHome10g/sqlplus/admin/help> head -40 hlpbld.sql
