If you’d like to download JUST a command-line interface for the Oracle Database, we do have one
available. It’s SQLcl. Less than 20 MB. Just requires you have an Oracle JRE installed.

Oracle SQLcl

Supports everything SQL*Plus has to offer, plus adds much more, including:

 an inline editor - ability to edit your code as you type it


 query history/recall
 custom commands - make your own
 automatic formatting of query results to XML, CSV, JSON, INSERT statements and more
 support for client-side JavaScripting
 smart formatting of output to screen, no need to use COL commands anymore
 tab completion for table, view, and column names
