Re: Can't edit in sqlplus

EDITOR=`which vi`

perhaps it's set in a system-wide profile on the other node, which doesn't
exist on this one.

I'm moving my production database to a new node.  In the process I need to
make a lots of changes and test everything.  One of the problems I've
encountered is editing while in sqlplus.  I copied my .bash_profile and
.bashrc files from the current production node and made the appropriate
changes since I made the ORACLE_HOME a more generic name.  (was 9.2.0.4.0,
made it 920)

I'm using RHEL4, Oracle 9.2.0.8.

I key in my query and after I get the results I want to change something
in the query so I type in edit.  What I get back is the following:

Wrote file /u01/app/oracle/product/920/rdbms/admin/afiedt.buf
277



I have to use ctrl+d to get out of it.  I'm sure it's just an environment
setting that I've missed, but the same environment works on the current
production node.  Following are my environment settings.  Does anyone have
an idea what I need to change?

This isn't critical, just annoying and a pain.  I don't want to script
every little query.

Thanks.
