Keeping track of sids and homes can be handled with a shell script in your
path that you use to set the sid and oracle home.  And dont set any sid or
home as a login default.  That way if the dba is used to setting it each
time, he or she is less likely to make a mistake.  Something simple and easy
to remember, like . myenv orcl

You can also call the script for cron jobs that may run against multiple
instances.
