Real story: I had a customer pasting:
>/bin/ls
It was funnier to debug than >expdp 😅
I add # before and after any prompt (also for non-root users) for that reason.
www.ludovicocaldara.net/dba/smart-ba...
(SQL> is also bad for this).
Cut&paste in a notepad for the win.

After years of using #rlwrap, I've just learned how easy it is to implement filters to modify the input and output of the commands. Perl support is available by default, and Python support can be easily installed. Better late than never. 😅

Pro Data Guard tip:
Whenever you implement Data Guard in a Multitenant architecture, ensure there are no saved PDB states and control your PDBs and services via srvctl.
This will save you some headaches with PDBs and services starting on the standby when they shouldn't.

Few people in my network know how much music has influenced my life. Steve Albini left a big imprint on me, particularly with Shellac band that I was eager to see again next June, but without forgetting how many great albums he recorded with Nirvana, Pixies, and the like. RIP 😭

About compatibility... This command is useless today but still works to maintain old applications compatible with the newest versions of Oracle Database.
