Hi,

I have 3 databases on the same server. one of them is a 9i db and the other 2 are 10g.

The environment variables are set and the SID is set to Prod1. I want to login to the Prod2 daabase, and when I give this command
export ORACLE_SID=PROD2, i get this error below.
$ export ORACLE_SID=prod2
ORACLE_SID=prod2: is not an identifier
$ export ORACLE_SID=PROD2
ORACLE_SID=PROD2: is not an identifier

Am I missing something very basic here?

KV

$ ORACLE_SID=prod2; export ORACLE_SID
The syntax depends on your shell.

Your ORACLE_HOME & PATH variables are going to change too. You may want to consider oraenv and/or coraenv in /usr/local/bin.
