RE: how can I see which database I am logged into without
Title: RE: how can I see which database I am logged into without My point was that you can see different names by using different queries. But, you and Mike brought up a good point- I need to use the "alter database rename global_name to XXX" after cloning databases to avoid any such confusion. Thanks for that tip.

RE: Re: how can I see which database I am logged into without
Didn't know this one ! Diem non perdidi. But it seems to be the same as select global_name from global_name (on the database on which I have tried, both are suffixed with a .WORLD); for what I remember from my numerous databases cloning, the global name is something which is distinct from the db_name parameter - you can have two different names and you must explicitly set the two to be the same thing (forgetting about the domain name). SYS_CONTEXT('USERENV', 'DB_NAME') doesn't show any .WORLD in it and shows the same as select name from v$database and select value from v$parameter where name = 'db_name'. I have always found all this extremely confusing, indeed. A database name and an instance name have always been enough for me - and I have always set the two to be the same thing as long as there was no OPS or RAC involved. I don't see the point in having so many names that 99.9% of people want to be the same thing. >- --- Original Message --- - >From: "GovindanK" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L ><[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Wed, 10 Sep 2003 17:59:35 > >How about SELECT ORA_DATABASE_NAME FROM DUAL; > >HTH >GovindanK > >> select sys_context('USERENV','DB_NAME') from >; >> >> At 10:49 AM 9/10/2003 -0800, you wrote: >>>hi. >>> >>>I think there was a dbms package to get some of >>>the environment variables for a session, but I >can't >>>remember anyhting specific.

Re: how can I see which database I am logged into without v$instance and v$database
Olga, There are userenv and sys_context functions. Describe sys.standard package to get more information. Or if you want to be really advanced, go and read the documentation ;) Tanel. - Original Message - To: "Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, September 10, 2003 9:49 PM and v$database > hi. > > I think there was a dbms package to get some of > the environment variables for a session, but I can't > remember anyhting specific.
