Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How to find the current instance name?
Right, or that is how it *should* be anyway :)
Take a look at the following:
SQL> create user test identified by test default tablespace users quota unlimited on users;
User created.
SQL> grant connect to test;
Grant succeeded.
SQL> desc V$Instance
Name Null? Type ----------------------------------------- -------- ------------------- INSTANCE_NUMBER NUMBER INSTANCE_NAME VARCHAR2(16) HOST_NAME VARCHAR2(64) VERSION VARCHAR2(17) STARTUP_TIME DATE STATUS VARCHAR2(7) PARALLEL VARCHAR2(3) THREAD# NUMBER ARCHIVER VARCHAR2(7) LOG_SWITCH_WAIT VARCHAR2(11) LOGINS VARCHAR2(10) SHUTDOWN_PENDING VARCHAR2(3) DATABASE_STATUS VARCHAR2(17) INSTANCE_ROLE VARCHAR2(18)
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
SQL> connect test/test_at_sales
Connected.
SQL> select instance_name from v$instance;
select instance_name from v$instance
*
SQL> connect sys/sys_at_sales
Connected.
SQL> create view instance as select instance_name from v$instance;
View created.
SQL> create public synonym instance for sys.instance;
Synonym created.
SQL> connect test/test_at_sales;
Connected.
SQL> select * from instance;
INSTANCE_NAME
This is just one work around that I can think of now, not sure of any others that there may be though..
