OK, here's a (hopefully) simple question which has proven to be unduly frustrating recently... When running sqlplus.exe under Windows, is there any method to prevent Ctrl-C from completely terminating the session? On Linux/Unix it only (at worst) terminates the current command, but under windows it completely kills sqlplus... dumping you back to the CMD prompt or closing the window, depending upon how it was started. I'm already familiar with SQL Developer, but we have a number of administrative scripts which simply work better under sqlplus, and therefore still need to fire it up periodically. I'm trying to get out of the habit of using sqlplusw.exe (although the 10g version is still an option at present), since it's no longer included as of 11g.
