Goal
To run Oracle SQL in Git Bash.
Assumption
You have sqlplus added to your PATH.
export PATH=${PATH}:/c/oraclexe/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/server/bin/
Problem
The option /nolog doesn’t work as expected.
$ sqlplus /nolog
SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.2.0 Production on Mer. Juin 7 09:43:47 2023
Copyright (c) 1982, 2014, Oracle. All rights reserved.
…
When SQL*Plus starts, and after CONNECT commands, the site profile
(e.g. $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql) and the user profile
(e.g. login.sql in the working directory) are run. The files may
contain SQL*Plus commands.
Refer to the SQL*Plus User's Guide and Reference for more information.
Solution
Luckily, googling “start sqlplus from git bash”, I found the solution in
this related Oracle Forum post: using an extra slash will do, i.e.
sqlplus //nolog.
