STORE

STORE is a relatively new addition to the SQL*Plus command set. It generates a file of SET commands based on the current state of those settings. This file can be used after those settings have been changed to reset everything back to a known state.

STORE SET filename [CRE[ATE]|REP[LACE]|APP[END]]

where:

STORE

Is the command.

SET

Is an option indicating what you want to store. Currently, the only option available is SET.

filename

Is the name of the file, including the path and extension, to which you want to write the SET commands.

CRE[ATE]

Causes the command to fail if the file already exists.

REP[LACE]

Causes SQL*Plus to overwrite any existing file with the same name.

APP[END]

Causes the SET commands to be appended to an existing file.
