Interfacing with Oracle on the command line
I wanted a command line client to access an Oracle server. sqlplus64 is the stock Oracle client. Connect to your server with the following command:
sqlplus64 username/password@//1.2.3.4/database_name
If you want to see all the tables in the current DB:
select table_name from user_tables;
If you want to see the field names/types of a given table
desc tablename
