Dan,

    You can use a anonymous PL/SQL block like the following in you login.sql or
script file is necessary, it keeps those errors from happening:

whenever sqlerror exit
declare
  db varchar2(30);
begin
  select global_name into db from global_name;
  if(db not like 'DEV%') then raise_application_error(-20100, "Wrong Database");
  end if;
end;
/

What happens if the ORACLE_SID is set to one value and the caller uses
SQL*Net to access a different database? While this is not usually the case
in scripts, it could be a problem if the script is parted of a called
function. 
ORACLE_SID=DEV
sqlplus scott/tiger@PROD  <-- I'm not connected to DEV anymore.

I realize this is nit-picking, but I've done far too many recoveries because
someone thought they were in DEV when they actually connected to PROD. I'd
rather know EXACTLY which db I'm connected to, not which one the O/S thinks
I should be in.

My $.02
