Hi list,
 
I have been asked to give a sqlplus training to some junior and junior+
DBA's, since Im expecting the first question to be:
 
"I know how to run most common DML/DDL/etc commands so, why do I need to
take a sqlplus training to format output or generate reports when there
is a lot of tools which can help me to access database w/o using manual
input?"
 
and I have thought some answers like:
 
1. Im sure nobody is exploding all features available in SQLPLUS.
2. What would you do if you have to work in a company which is not able
to pay for nice tools?
3. Knowledge on SQLPLUS would help you to get a better understanding of
oracle database.
 
and so on..
 
but I would like to hear some feedback from you guys, why a sqlplus
training is important?
 
TIA
Gabriel
