Back-ticks can be a pain to track, the $() notation in
ksh makes things a bit less error prone. Also, no need
to echo a variable via shell execution if it is available
in the current proc:
PS1="$(hostname):$ORACLE_SID:\$PWD \$ ";
will give you the full path or
PS1="$(hostname:$ORACLE_SID:./\${PWD##*/} \$ ";
will give you the relative path (i.e., $PWD stripped of
any text leading to a '/').
This is equivalent to bash's:
PS1='\h:$ORACLE_SID:\W \$ ';
