Differences between Oracle and Oracle Rdb.
386857Feb 2 2003 — edited Feb 15 2003My background is mainly VMS, and so I have grown up (since 1984) with DEC Rdb (now Oracle Rdb). I am starting to get into Oracle, and therefore, starting to learn the subtle differences. With this in mind could someone educate me as to the default transaction type when using SQLPLUS (using interactive SQL it's READ WRITE). What is the initialization file called for SQLPLUS, and are there equivalents to the logical names SQLINI, SQL$DATABASE, SQL$EDIT, etc.
If there is someone out there with experience of both, may be you could ease my pain by posting your pearls of wisdom, or tips, here to help me along the way.
