Hi all,

Just installed a new machine with June 2007 OE media for an Oracle AS and Database installation. Problem is when logged on to Oracle and entering an sql command with an '@' character in it, it carriage controls immediately. What could could cause this and what is the workaround?

Also getting ^?^?^? when back spacing a command. Any idea how to get rid of this across sessions?

Thanks in advance?

You need to use stty to set your kill and erase chars:
$ stty -kill ^U -erase ^?

This also means your terminal emulator is broken. The erase key should really be control H and backspace should be the same. (I use both interchangeably.)

Hello Kwahae.
maybe your term variable is not set..


when you give the env command what is the value of TERM ?

[Kwahae_1]

TERM is set to xterm.

Denis the stty has done the job for the ^?^? question. How about the carriage control phenomenon of the sql '@' function?

Oops, that should have been without the "-".
That should be the "kill ^u" part.
Use "stty -a" to check.
