Backspace in old school sqlplus

I am trying to use Backspace in old school sqlplus. Previously vgersh99 mentioned to use: TERM=dtterm. That unfortunately did not work for sqlplus. Can you think of any other TERM that may work?

The only thing that seemed to work was stty erase ^H. Azhrei mentioned that. Also found it in a google search. Are there any disadvantages of using stty erase ^H?

: uname -a
SunOS ah5719006ub002 5.10 Generic_150400-64 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise

: sqlplus -v

SQL*Plus: Release 11.2.0.3.0 Production

check the rlwrap utility for command line editing in general.

(not sure if its available on Solaris ...)
