For the scenario where you call Windows sqlplus.exe from something else and a
Ctrl-C inconveniently closes the window, I think the best you can do is change
the command line from plain "sqlplus.exe" to "cmd /k sqlplus.exe", so that
exiting drops out to the command prompt and you still at least have your window.
I’ve just made this change in PL/SQL Developer and it's working quite well.
Thanks for the idea!

As for interrupting SQL, there is the following command which works in some
versions newer than 9i:
ALTER SYSTEM CANCEL SQL 'SID, SERIAL[, @INST_ID][, SQL_ID]';
If that doesn't happen to work in your database, you can always try with kill
-SIGURG <pid executing SQL>. That is actually what the above command does.

SQLcl on Windows will also close as a result of a CTRL+C. At least it
does for me.

Works half the time.
The rest of the time it doesn’t do anything until when the statement would

Try upgrading your Oracle Client version

Open yourself another window, and since you must be DBA on your home play"Mark W. Farnham" <mwf@xxxxxxxx> 3/10/19 11:35 AM >>>
version, look up the server process you want to kill and kill it. The
prompt should return to your sqlplus session awaiting you to log back on.
(If memory serves. It’s been a long time.)
I am not aware of a workaround for ctrl-c or inserting rubout in data from
the keyboard to avoid crashing that window of sqlplus on the system you’re
using.
Probably there are some virtual wrapper VM software varieties on which you
can run a guest of windows that will behave differently.

Subject: Re: Ctrl C in SQLPlus exits Windows
Hi Ram!
What would you like to interrupt? Interrupt signal is always dispatched to
the invoking process and it kills it. The sqlplus is not bad, it was just
drawn that way, to quote Jessica Rabbit. I would try with SQLcl, Java plug
in replacement for SQL*Plus. As I use Linux, I am not sure that this will
work, but it's worth trying. Jeff Smith can probably tell you more.

Is there a solution for Ctrl C only to interrupt and not to exit SQL Plus
in windows.
