There are multiple ways to execute SQL queries in Oracle, with the most common being using SQL Developer tool or SQL*Plus command line tool. Below are the steps for executing SQL queries in Oracle.

  1. Open the SQL Developer tool or open a command line window and enter the sqlplus command to access the SQL*Plus environment.
  2. Please provide valid connection information, including username, password, and database connection string, to connect to the Oracle database.
  3. Please enter the SQL query statement you wish to execute and press Enter to run the query. For example, you can enter a query statement like “SELECT * FROM table_name;” to retrieve all data from the table.
  4. View the execution results, which will be displayed in the query result window.
  5. If necessary, you can save the query results or export the data to a file.

In addition to the SQL Developer and SQL*Plus tools, you can also connect to an Oracle database and execute SQL queries using programming languages like Java and Python. For example, you can use a JDBC driver to run SQL queries in a Java application.
