SET SQLprompt "&db_name..&user_name> " It doesn't reset the sqlprompt when I go to a new database. What technique do you use? As of 10.2.something I believe, login.sql is called automatically by sqlplus when new connections are made. Just tested on 10.2.0.4 When making a connection to a new database however, I always logout. Logging onto a database is handled by a shell script, so it's just a matter of 'olog <dbname>' There's different ways to handle this, but I long ago got into the habit of exiting sqlplus and restarting it for new database connections.
