Put this in your glogin file:

set feedback off
set verify off
set echo off
column "value" new_value db_name noprint column "user" new_value you_are noprint
select
substr(global_name,1,decode(instr(global_name,'.'),null,length(global_name), instr(global_name,'.') - 1)) "value", user "user" from sys.global_name;
set sqlprompt '&you_are in &db_name.>'
set feedback on
