When you set the Oracle environment variables did you export them?

korn shell version
export ORACLE_SID=MYDB

Both are correct and showing the right things.

Set them again, and tried as follows.

I am unable to make out what is going wrong?

You'll need to set your ORACLE_HOME as well, because Oracle uses a hash of the

ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID to connect. If one or the other is not set, you

won't be connecting to the proper instance.

You can always check it with:

	echo %ORACLE_HOME%
	echo %ORACLE_SID%
