Hi,
I have oracle 9 and 10g. When I select particular Database, it is not detecting the correct one.
Set oracle_sid=orcl
Sqlplus /nolog
SQL*plus: Release 9.2.0.1.0- production ......
But the Database ORCL is not in 9i, it is in 10g.
please help me to get a correct Database name.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Thanks for your answers.
1) As 11G is only supports in WINDOWS 7. I'm not able to have them.
2) Yes with the command V$version , it shows the correct Database version name (10g).
But why SQL*plus took 9i instead of 10g?
please tell me the reason for it....
And the solution for this.
Thanks

May I try?
muktha_22But why SQL*plus took 9i instead of 10g?
This is because 9i's SQL*Plus' directory is - in the PATH environment variable - placed before 10g's SQL*Plus' directory. So, either use its full path, for example:
C:\> C:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\client_1\BIN\sqlplus scott/tiger@ora10
--------------------------------------
(I underlined the path) or modify the PATH environment variable and place 10g in front of 9i, or create a desktop icon(s) which will start version you want.

Me again ...
I *think* that the OP says that he uses MS Windows XP as operating system. According to that fact, he installed Oracle 9i and 10g.
If he had MS Windows 7, he would have to install Oracle 11g because combinations of older Oracle versions and MS Windows 7 aren't certified.
But, why all the discussion, Windows this and Oracle that? The question was why, when he executes SQLPLUS.EXE at the command prompt, SQL*Plus 9i is used and not 10g one. Because, well, PATH and stuff.

Maybe but you didn't answer to my questions:
Quote:1) Still don't understand what you say. Waht does this mean? You are in Windows 7 but can't download 11g or you are not in Windows 7 and so it is useless (from your understanding) to download 11g?
If you don't do it, I wonder why I should answer your future ones.
Show a little respect towards us and do not just send an "End of Topic" signal.

Yes, you can have 11g on Windows.
On my laptop with XP SP3 Professional Edition, I have 8.1.7, 9.2, 10.2, 11.1 and 11.2, no problem (or almost I have some disconnections after some idle time on socket but there is a XP patch I never tested).
Use "Microsoft Windows (32-bit)" download.
Regards
Michel
