Hi Pals,

Could you please tell me the difference between EXIT and Disconn.

Firstly i have defined a variable with the DEFINE Keyword in a schema(say Scott).

SQL> define myv='XYZ';
SQL> define myv;
DEFINE MYV = "XYZ" (CHAR)

Just disconn from the schema(SCOTT).I am able to see the value of the defined variable 'myv' even after disconnecting from the shema

SQL> show user
USER is ""

Then again i connected to another schema(say HR).Here also the value of defined variable is persisting.

SQL> show user
USER is "HR"

SQL> define myv;
DEFINE MYV = "XYZ" (CHAR).

Now i typed exit and logged in again as SCOTT,but this time i am unable to see the value of defined variable myv.

My question is why after disconnecting,the value of a defined variable is existing?Doesn't disconnect mean end of the session?

Please clarify.

Thanks
Srini..

"disconnect" disconnects from Oracle but you still stay in the application (SQL*Plus) and so keep your application environment.
"exit" quits the application and so you lose your application environment.

Variables declared with "define" are SQL*Plus variables.
