Hi all,

Thank you very much for the responses for my earlier queries.

According to the suggestion I made changes in glogin.sql file so that my SQL Prompt shows my current database name as its prompt. My problem is, if I change the database by using 'connect' command, prompt is not getting changed. Please help me in this problem.

Thanks and Regards
Sreedhar

yes.
If you use "connect" to connect to another database, the sql prompt will not work.
this is workaround, which may not be helping you.
this a sick method do it. usually i create shorcuts (sqlplus.exe ) for each database in desktop and give target as
D:OracleOra81binSQLPLUSW.EXE connect usernname/password@Host_string @p

-----
create a sql file while all the environment settings,query to get the db_name etc
and run it along the connect
---
p.sql contains the following
set sqlprompt new_db
...
...
set linesize 25
...

---
now
connect usernname/password@Host_string @p
