I installed the 19.3.0 instant client and sqlplus tools on my Mac. $ which sqlplus /Applications/oracle/product/instantclient64/19.3.0/bin/sqlplus. Oracle sql plus free download - Insight Developer for Oracle, SQLite Database, Orac, and many more programs.

SQLplus is a command line utility to manage Oracle Database. It is a powerful tool that all Oracle database administrator must have. In this tutorial, I am going to install the SQLplus Utility 9.5 in Windows 10. The new version of sqlplus 19.5 is available alongside the new Oracle Database 19c. On the previous article, I have shown how to install Oracle Database 19c on CentOS 8.

Once the connection is made between the client and the server using sqlplus, we can perform many database administration, query, user management and so on.

Steps to Install SQLplus on Windows 10

Step 1. Install Oracle Instant Client

I installed the 19.3.0 instant client and sqlplus tools on my Mac. $ which sqlplus /Applications/oracle/product/instantclient64/19.3.0/bin/sqlplus. Oracle sql plus free download - Insight Developer for Oracle, SQLite Database, Orac, and many more programs.

Steps to Install SQLplus on Windows 10

Step 1. Install Oracle Instant Client

Before we can install and run the sqlplus utility, we need to configure the Oracle Instant Client Utility first. So, I would suggest you to read this article to Install Oracle Instant Client 19.5 on Windows 10.

Step 2. Download SQLplus software package

Once you've setup the instant client correctly, now we need to download the sqlplus package from the following link

So this is the sqlplus software package for Windows 10 64 bit edition.

Step 3. Install the Package

From the previous step, you should have a zip file called : instantclient-sqlplus-windows.zip. Now extract the file to your instant client directory you created on the Step 1. Here is the screenshot of my instant client folder looks like:

Notice that there is sqlplus application in this instant client folder. Now we are ready to go.

How to Connect to Oracle Database via SQLplus Command

In the following example, I will show you how to connect to remote oracle database via sqlplus command. Before we connect, we need to configure the user in the Oracle database. Skip the user creating step if you already have a database user that can connect to the pluggable database.

Create a new user

In the database server host, we need to connect to the database using sqlplus in order to create a new user for the pluggable database. In this case, my container database called cdb1 and the pluggable database is called pdb1.

Login as oracle user and then execute this command.

Now let's show the current database we connected

Sqlplus Macos Catalina

As you can see now we are connected to the root database. We need to switch to the pluggable database (pdb1).

Now check again using show command

As you can see, now we are connected to PDB1, the pluggable database. Next, we need to open the database so we can create a new user for it.

Then, we can create a new user

The command will create a new user called 'manjaro' and password 'thePassword'. After that, we need to grant 'CONNECT' privileges to manjaro user so user can connect to the database. You can also add multiple roles to the new users. For example:

Done. Please note that this new user only exist in the pluggable database. So, to connect, we need to specify the username as manjaro@pdb1 in the Connect command.

Connect to the Database

Ok, so now we have a new user setup in the pdb1 database. Let's try to connect to the database.

From the other computer (in this case Windows 10 where sqlplus is installed using above steps), open command prompt and execute the following command:

Output:

Where:

• 192.168.100.50 is the Oracle database host IP address
• pdb1.griyaku.lan is the Oracle database service

You can check your Oracle database services and instances with the following command. Make sure you execute this command on the database host as oracle user.

Output:

Thank you for reading this how to install sqlplus 19.5 on Windows 10. I hope you enjoy it and leave us comments for any queries. Cheers.

Here I'll show you how to get SQL Server up and running on your Mac in less than half an hour. And the best part is, you'll have SQL Server running locally without needing any virtualization software.

Prior to SQL Server 2017, if you wanted to run SQL Server on your Mac, you first had to create a virtual machine (using VirtualBox, Parallels Desktop, VMware Fusion, or Bootcamp), then install Windows onto that VM, then finally SQL Server. This is still a valid option depending on your requirements (here's how to install SQL Server on a Mac with VirtualBox if you'd like to try that method).

Starting with SQL Server 2017, you can now install SQL Server directly on to a Linux machine. And because macOS is Unix based (and Linux is Unix based), you can run SQL Server for Linux on your Mac. The way to do this is to run SQL Server on Docker.

So let's go ahead and install Docker. Then we'll download and install SQL Server.

1. Install Docker

   Download the (free) Docker Community Edition for Mac (unless you've already got it installed on your system). This will enable you to run SQL Server from within a Docker container.

   To download, visit the Docker CE for Mac download page and click Get Docker.

   To install, double-click on the .dmg file and then drag the Docker.app icon to your Application folder.

   What is Docker?

   Docker is a platform that enables software to run in its own isolated environment. SQL Server (from 2017) can be run on Docker in its own isolated container. Once Docker is installed, you simply download — or 'pull' — the SQL Server on Linux Docker Image to your Mac, then run it as a Docker container. This container is an isolated environment that contains everything SQL Server needs to run.

2. Launch Docker

   Launch Docker the same way you'd launch any other application (eg, via the Applications folder, the Launchpad, etc).

   When you open Docker, you might be prompted for your password so that Docker can install its networking components and links to the Docker apps. Go ahead and provide your password, as Docker needs this to run.

3. Increase the Memory

   By default, Docker will have 2GB of memory allocated to it. SQL Server needs at least 3.25GB. To be safe, increase it to 4GB if you can.

   To do this:

   1. Select Preferences from the little Docker icon in the top menu
   2. Slide the memory slider up to at least 4GB
   3. Click Apply & Restart

4. Download SQL Server

   Now that Docker is installed and its memory has been increased, we can download and install SQL Server for Linux.

   Open a Terminal window and run the following command.

   This downloads the latest SQL Server 2019 for Linux Docker image to your computer.

   You can also check for the latest container version on the Docker website if you wish.

   Update: When I first wrote this article, I used the following image:

   Which downloaded SQL Server 2017. Therefore, the examples below reflect that version.

5. Launch the Docker Image

   Run the following command to launch an instance of the Docker image you just downloaded:

   But of course, use your own name and password. Also, if you downloaded a different Docker image, replace microsoft/mssql-server-linux with the one you downloaded.

   Here's an explanation of the parameters:

   -d	This optional parameter launches the Docker container in daemon mode. This means that it runs in the background and doesn't need its own Terminal window open. You can omit this parameter to have the container run in its own Terminal window.
   --name sql_server_demo	Another optional parameter. This parameter allows you to name the container. This can be handy when stopping and starting your container from the Terminal.
   -e 'ACCEPT_EULA=Y'	The Y shows that you agree with the EULA (End User Licence Agreement). This is required in order to have SQL Server for Linux run on your Mac.
   -e 'SA_PASSWORD=reallyStrongPwd123'	Required parameter that sets the sa database password.
   -p 1433:1433	This maps the local port 1433 to port 1433 on the container. This is the default TCP port that SQL Server uses to listen for connections.
   microsoft/mssql-server-linux	This tells Docker which image to use. If you downloaded a different one, use it instead.

   Password Strength

   If you get the following error at this step, try again, but with a stronger password.

   I received this error when using reallyStrongPwd as the password (but of course, it's not a really strong password!). I was able to overcome this by adding some numbers to the end. However, if it wasn't just a demo I'd definitely make it stronger than a few dictionary words and numbers.

6. Check the Docker container (optional)

   You can type the following command to check that the Docker container is running.

   If it's up and running, it should return something like this:

7. Install sql-cli (unless already installed)

   Run the following command to install the sql-cli command line tool. This tool allows you to run queries and other commands against your SQL Server instance.

   This assumes you have NodeJs installed. If you don't, download it from Nodejs.org first. Installing NodeJs will automatically install npm which is what we use in this command to install sql-cli.

   Permissions Error?

   If you get an error, and part of it reads something like Please try running this command again as root/Administrator, try again, but this time prepend sudo to your command:

8. Connect to SQL Server

   Now that sql-cli is installed, we can start working with SQL Server via the Terminal window on our Mac.

   Connect to SQL Server using the mssql command, followed by the username and password parameters.

   You should see something like this:

   This means you've successfully connected to your instance of SQL Server.

9. Run a Quick Test

   Run a quick test to check that SQL Server is up and running and you can query it.

   For example, you can run the following command to see which version of SQL Server your running:

   If it's running, you should see something like this (but of course, this will depend on which version you're running):

   If you see a message like this, congratulations — SQL Server is now up and running on your Mac!

A SQL Server GUI for your Mac – Azure Data Studio

Azure Data Studio (formerly SQL Operations Studio) is a free GUI management tool that you can use to manage SQL Server on your Mac. You can use it to create and manage databases, write queries, backup and restore databases, and more.

Azure Data Studio is available on Windows, Mac and Linux.

Here are some articles/tutorials I've written for Azure Data Studio:

Another Free SQL Server GUI – DBeaver

Another SQL Server GUI tool that you can use on your Mac (and Windows/Linux/Solaris) is DBeaver.

Sqlplus For Mac

DBeaver is a free, open source database management tool that can be used on most database management systems (such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, MariaDB, SQLite, Oracle, DB2, SQL Server, Sybase, Microsoft Access, Teradata, Firebird, Derby, and more).

I wrote a little introduction to DBeaver, or you can go straight to the DBeaver download page and try it out with your new SQL Server installation.

Limitations of SQL Server for Linux/Mac

SQL Server for Linux does have some limitations when compared to the Windows editions (although this could change over time). The Linux release doesn't include many of the extra services that are available in the Windows release, such as Analysis Services, Reporting Services, etc. Here's a list of what's available and what's not on SQL Server 2017 for Linux and here's Microsoft's list of Editions and supported features of SQL Server 2019 on Linux.

Another limitation is that SQL Server Management Studio is not available on Mac or Linux. SSMS a full-blown GUI management for SQL Server, and it provides many more features than Azure Data Studio and DBeaver (at least at the time of writing). You can still use SSMS on a Windows machine to connect to SQL Server on a Linux or Mac machine, but you just can't install it locally on the Linux or Mac machine.

If you need any of the features not supported in SQL Server for Linux, you'll need SQL Server for Windows. However, you can still run SQL Server for Windows on your Mac by using virtualization software. Here's how to install SQL Server for Windows on a Mac using VirtualBox.
