How to stop running an Oracle SQL command

I am running a Oracle 8i on a windows 2000 environment.
I tried to run a SQL command in the SQL*plus worksheet. When I try to display the contents in a table using "select", I forgot to put in the "where" clause which resulted in the command running for a long long time because it is a huge table. Is there any way I can stop the command before it finishes?

Thanks

i have not worked on sql*plus worksheet, but in sql*plus we can try ctrl + c or esc key something like that.

I think some expert on sql*plus worksheet has to hit this one.

Thanks

Great. I killed the process with another connection to the database.

Thanks
