Hello All,

        I am having a problem setting ORACLE_SID using env variables. For example, in a bash script:

export SS_DB=ABCDB
export TT_DB=DEFDB

export ORACLE_SID=$SS_DB

sqlplus fails with Oracle not available, no shared memory. However, echo $ORACLE_SID returns ABCDB.

If I then set ORACLE_SID directly:

export ORACLE_SID=ABCDB

sqlplus works fine

What am I missing?

TIA
Dave
