I have a solaris 8 server with 2 oracle homes. One is 9.2.0.6.0 and the other 10.2.0.1.0.
When I go to my client (from my desk) and login with SQL*Plus I can't get it to use the "SQL*Plus Release 9i..." from the 9i instance.


It wants to use the 10g version of sqlplus! How do I configure my listener.ora to use the 9i sqlplus
with the 9i instance and the 10g sqlplus with the 10g instance?


Below is the Listener.ora definition:

[oracle@host] /apps/oracle/tns$ more listener.ora
# listener.ora Network Configuration File: /apps/oracle/tns/listener.ora
# Generated by Oracle configuration tools.

LISTENER =
 (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
   (DESCRIPTION =
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = host)(PORT = port))
     (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC0))
   )
 )

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
 (SID_LIST =
   (SID_DESC =
     (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
     (ORACLE_HOME = /apps/oracle/product/10.2.0)
     (PROGRAM = extproc)
   )
   (SID_DESC =
      (ORACLE_HOME=/apps/oracle9i/product/9.2.0)
      (SID_NAME=orcl9i)
   )
 )


Here is an example of me logging in from my client with sqlplus:
