is older oracle version 8i similar to 9i
i think it seems pretty similar
could u prompt on the new features?
also the ora navigator seems to do things
pretty simple way so what's the need for
the sql+ for inserting the table values

SQL*Plus is pratically guaranteed to be installed on any machine that
has Oracle access. You can't always take Tool X with you.
