C:\Documents and Settings>set PATH=c:\app\xxxxxxx\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1/bin 
 
I created 2 databases. one is "A" and the other database is called "B". 
 
In sql plus tool, I do "sqlplus / as sysdba". It asks for the password. I give the correct password. Then, I give this command "select name from v$database" to make sure whether i am in the right database. Instead of showing database "B", it is showing database "A". So, I feel that I havent set the environment variables properly. I was able to set the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID. But I am not sure about the PATH environment variable. Here is what I did to set the 3 environment variables. 
 
-- oracle home 
C:\Documents and Settings>set ORACLE_HOME=c:\app\xxxxxxx\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1/bin 
C:\Documents and Settings>echo %ORACLE_HOME% 
c:\app\xxxxxxx\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1/bin 
 
-- oracle sid 
C:\Documents and Settings>set ORACLE_SID=B 
C:\Documents and Settings>echo %ORACLE_SID% 
B 
 
-- PATH 
C:\Documents and Settings>set PATH=c:\app\xxxxxxx\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1/bin 
C:\Documents and Settings>echo %PATH% 
c:\app\xxxxxxx\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1/bin 
 
After setting the above environment variables, if i try to connect to database "B" and query like this "select name from v$database", still it is giving the result as database "A" and not database "B". I want it to show as database "B". Please help.

In SQL plus, I gave the following :

		I got the desired output. Instead of using 2 different windows, one for command prompt and the other one for SQL Plus, this time I used the same window.  
 
C:\Documents and Settings\Lakshmg3>set ORACLE_SID=content 
 
C:\Documents and Settings\Lakshmg3>echo %ORACLE_SID% 
content 
 
C:\Documents and Settings\Lakshmg3>sqlplus / as sysdba
