Just a note to clarify sqlplus

It does start in noautocommit as you say.
However,  it issues a commit when you exit (with quit, Ctrl-D or whatever)
which is (in my opinion) incorrect, and very much worth taking into account
when writing scripts for Oracle.
I think it should automatically issue a rollback on exit.

Stephen.
