Here is a bash script to call from Vim, when you want information about a table while you are editing SQL code. Put the script in a file named describe.
#!/usr/bin/bash f=aTempFile.sql u=<uName> p=<pWord> d=<dBase> echo "/* describe for $1" echo "describe $1;" > $f; echo "quit;" >> $f; sqlplus -S $u/$p@$d @$f rm -f $f; echo " end describe for $1 */"
Your path needs to include the script (as well as sqlplus), then from Vim you type:
:r !describe <tableName>
That inserts a listing of the table columns, complete with Java/C comments.
