Using gedit as editor in SQL*Plus (changes I make are ignored)

749068Jan 26 2010 — edited Jan 26 2010

Hi chaps,

I'm using sqlplus on Ubuntu to connect to some Oracle 10g Enterprise Edition databases. I'm using gedit as my editor (if anyone tells me I should use vi or emacs I'll kill myself) and it comes up as expected when I type ed, but changes I make in it aren't reflected when I enter /.

I've also noticed that sqlplus isn't waiting for me to close gedit before it accepts input again, which I think it should. I think I may have had a similar issue using textpad on Windows, or indeed any editor that's able to have multiple documents open, but I don't remember the solution.

Any help anyone could offer would be appreciated.
