Oracle client is a streamlined software that operates on Perl and is used to access Oracle databases with ease.
Despite being a relatively simplistic program, I found Oracle client to be much more useful than other database query tools I've tried, such as dbishell or sqlplus. One useful feature of the program is the support for readline, which makes it much easier to navigate and manage long queries. Additionally, the program comes equipped with various shorthand commands, such as d, , c, and desc, that make query building a breeze.
To sum up my experience, I would highly recommend Oracle client to anyone who is looking for a user-friendly Oracle client that offers a great deal of functionality. Although it may lack some of the bells and whistles of more robust database query tools, its ease of use and simplicity make it a powerful tool for anyone who needs to navigate Oracle databases regularly.
