title: SQL Plus: how to change directory and show current working directory
body: <p>I just installed Oracle, and I am working with SQL*Plus because the GUI tool, SQL Developer, won't work.</p>
  
  <p>I need to run some scripts, and I found that after starting SQL<em>Plus I couldn't navigate from a session to another directory. The instructions that I did find after I searched on the internet all talk about a gui interface to SQL</em>Plus which is no longer available on version 11. All what I get is a console window.</p>
  
  <p>Right now I hacked my way into making it work for me by creating a shortcut and then changing the starting directory to the directory where the scripts are housed.</p>
  
  <p>I can keep doing this, but I would like to know if there is a command that will let me know 
  a) the current working directory and 
  b) how to change directories </p>
  
  <p>Thanks in advance,</p>
  
  <p>Hugo</p>
