KSqlPlus - KDE frontend for ORACLE SQL*Plus
============================================

   KSqlPlus is the KDE application which provides convenient
interface to terminal application ORACLE SQL*Plus (sqlplus).
KSqlPlus works with SQL*Plus as with separate child process
(using KProcess class from kdecore). Also, KSqlPlus can work
with remote SQL*Plus via RSH/SSH. KSqlPlus looks like Oracle
SQL Worksheet for Windows from the "Oracle Enterprise Manager"
package and has same features.

   You must have installed (and bought) ORACLE software and
properly configured ORACLE environment for usage of local KSqlPlus.
Or, you may use remote SQL*Plus on the some remote host where
ORACLE is. KSqlPlus is calling RSH or SSH implicitly and you
are working with remote SQL*Plus by same way as with local one.

   Anyway, you can compile KSqlPlus sources without ORACLE
libraries and ORACLE Call Interface headers because KSqlPlus is
not linked with ORACLE software directly.
