To remove the dashed lines in the SQLPlus query result, you can use the following method:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To control the number of characters displayed on each line when running a sqlplus session, you can set the linesize parameter before executing the query. Setting linesize to a lower value can prevent the display of dashed lines. For example:<\/li>\n
  2. Set the line size to 100.<\/li>\n
  3. This will limit the number of characters output per line to 100, reducing the chance of dashed lines appearing.<\/li>\n
  4. You can turn off the underline feature in a sqlplus session by using the SET UNDERLINE OFF command, which will prevent dashed lines from being displayed.<\/li>\n
  5. Turn off underline.<\/li>\n
  6. This will disable the default underscore feature of sqlplus, no longer displaying dotted lines in query results.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    By using the above-mentioned method, you can remove the dashed lines from the query results in sqlplus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
