Hi,

To overcome the connect within a session not changing the prompt a created a script (connect.sql) and put it in the directory from SQL_PATH registry entry. When I want to change the connection i type @connect i.s.o connect

accept username prompt "Type username :"; accept password prompt "Type Password (hidden) :" hide; accept sid prompt "Type instance name (SID) :"; connect &username/&password@&sid;
@d:\oracle\ora80\Plus80\glogin.sql;
undefine username;
undefine password;
undefine sid;
rem CLEAR SCREEN;

Thanks to Kevin and all that reply.

I noticed when doing a connect inside a session.

This will help.

     Ramon;
       In your startup directory on SQL Plus, you can automatically run a
     script that will setup the environment like you want it.  Its called
     LOGIN.SQL.

     Here is a copy of mine:

     set termout on
     set pagesize 0
     set echo off
     set feedback off
     set sqlprompt ''
     spool c:\temp.sql
     select 'set sqlprompt '''||name||' > '';' from v$database;
     spool off
     @c:\temp.sql
     set pagesize 35
     set feedback on
     set termout off
     What this does is to take the name of the database from v$database and
     create a temporary SQL file, then runs it.  This will set my prompt to

     INSTANCE_NAME >

     where INSTANCE_NAME is the name of the database.

     For example, if I log onto DEV then the SQLPROMPT will be

     DEV >

     Hope you can use it.

     Kevin

     p.s. ...  Remember that  this only works for the initialization of SQL
     Plus.  If you do a connect inside of your session then the prompt will
     not change.

          Hi Friends,

          Excuse me for this dumb question,  how do I display the instance
          name in the
          sql prompt.  Have 3 DB and would like to know to which one I am
          connected.

          I mean something like that.
