You can always set your prompt to take up two lines, but that looks ugly to me too. See example. SQL> show user USER est "SYSTEM" SQL> show sqlprompt sqlprompt "SQL> " SQL> -- change prompt to be connected username and last 4 SQL> -- characters of instance name SQL> column new_prompt new_value new_sqlprompt SQL> select 2 user || '@' || chr (10) || 3 substr (instance_name, length (instance_name) - 3) || '>' 4 as new_prompt 5 from v$instance ;
NEW_PROMPT ------------------------------------------------- SYSTEM@ jrk1> SQL> set sqlprompt "&new_sqlprompt" SYSTEM@ jrk1>select * 2 from dual ; D - X SYSTEM@ jrk1> > -----Original Message----- > From: Pardee, Roy E [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Apologies--I wasn't clear in my original post.
