If you use default settings, and you are not committing manually, you are getting your own personal, private view – until you exit!

Despite the fact that this has caught almost everybody at least once, it’s a rather obscure “gotcha” to find on any FAQ or blog. Until now :)

In the SQL*Plus User’s Guide, see “Saving Changes to the Database Automatically”, and “Exit” in the SQL*Plus Command Reference. Even then, it’s easy to miss.

For version 9, get the doc here.
