Hi:

With Oracle 8i, I always modified $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/glogin.sql, and
added

set termout off
col site_name noprint new_value site_name_new
select 'SQL> ' site_name from dual;
select    user
       || substr(proc.program, instr(proc.program,'@'),
                 instr(proc.program,' ') - instr(proc.program,'@'))
       || '-SQL> ' site_name
from v$process proc
where proc.pid = 2;
set sqlprompt '&&site_name_new'
set termout on

so that when a user launches sqlplus, it would show something at prompt like

[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

instead of

SQL>

I found that doing this in 9i will prevent me starting up my instance, when
I use

sqlplus '/as sysdba'

In 8i, I always used svrmgrl to bounce db so there was no problem with
modified glogin.sql.

Has anyone found a work-around in 9i so that sqlplus prompt displays
"username" and "hostname" when launched? I know there is a new
_CONNECT_IDENTIFIER in 9i, but that's not good enough.

TIA.

Guang
