SQL*Plus history under Linux

Question

How to make sqlplus in Linux to maintain history of my queries? So that I could use up/down arrows to get my previous query.

Answer 1

rlwrap package is needed. Used like this:

$ rlwrap sqlplus user/password@sid

Nice to place alias to .bashrc:

alias sqlplus="rlwrap sqlplus"
