RE: Instance Name in Sql Prompt

Hi Ramon,  

You could put this into your login.sql script if you have one. This will automatically take your login name and database and set your sqlprompt accordingly.  

col user_name new_value user_name
col db_name new_value db_name
select lower(user) user_name,

   ltrim(rtrim(lower(global_name))) db_name from global_name;
set sqlprompt "&user_name@&db_name> "

Hi Friends,  

Excuse me for this dumb question, how do I display the instance name in the sql prompt. Have 3 DB and would like to know to which one I am connected.  

I mean something like that.
