I just installed the Oracle Instant Client for Mac OSX with the SQLPlus extension and have the following problem. I can connect to a database instance and schema and I can do queries but when I try the “describe command” it just hangs. For example:
SQL> SELECT COUNT(*) FROM APPROVABLETAB;
COUNT(*)
----------
8
SQL> desc APPROVABLETAB;
// hangs indefinitely
Anyone have any ideas?
Well the describe command is working today. I’ve been having some network connection problems at work using the WIFI and a VPN connection. Now I am using a wired connection and it’s working. Strange that the other day it was failing for describe command but working for queries. Anyway, I’m moving on.
