I know you have to really do a full client install to get SQL*Plus on
Windows, but due to circumstances I won't go into here, I can't do
this.

I just want to install SQL*Plus, so does anyone know what files are
required?

Dont think you can get around it, you still need 'oracle required
files' to get around it.

Best bet is to just select SQL*Plus from the installer and Oracle will
pull in all the other files it needs.

You could try downloading the file and registry monitors from
sysinternals, do the full install on a PC with plenty of space, run
through everything you're likely to need with filemon running, then see
what files were accessed. Then just copy those files from the machine
where you installed it to the machine which can't have a 50$ hard disk
upgrade.

Alternatively you could knock up a Java version of SQL*Plus with the
functionality you need and use JDBC Thin.

Yet again, if you have heaps of time, define your own network protocol,
run a daemon on the server which can pass queries to the database, then
create a Windows client to that daemon.

Or just telnet to the server and use the SQL*Plus local to the database.

Why do I bother (or you for that matter)?

Well, what did you want me to say? I thought you wanted helpful
suggestions - that was the aim of the above comments. I'll shut up if
you prefer.

Ooops - sorry, I thought you were being flippant.

I apologise 100%
