As well as the edited glogin I also use a script called "connect.sql" and when I want to connect to another DB I run @connect, quite handy actually, shows who you are logged in as as well as which DB...

script is as follows:

connect &1

set verify off
set termout off
column value new_value _sid
column user_value new_value _user
select substr(global_name,1,instr(global_name,'.') - 1) as value, user as user_value from global_name;
set sqlprompt '&_user@&_sid>'
set termout on
set verify on
