Setting ORACLE_SID

The Oracle System ID (SID) is used to uniquely identify a particular database on a system


How to set ORACLE_SID:
Windows:
set ORACLE_SID=orcl


Unix/ Linux:
export ORACLE_SID=orcl


SID is case sensitive in Unix / Linux environments.




How to check the current ORACLE_SID:
Windows:
Go to the commnand prompt and type as


C:\> set ORACLE_SID (This will show if any ORACLE_SID is already set).
C:\> set (To know all the parameters set)


Unix/ Linux:
echo $ORACLE_SID

  1. Hi, guys!
    In the following post, there is a PL/SQL script that generates the current database environment file.
    Also, it contains a good example of an environment file you'd better use for your database.
