SQLplus user profile; showing connection name in the sqlplus prompt

SQLplus user profile is maintained in the file glogin.sql which is executed at the time of login in to a database connection. The default location of this file is

 $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/admin/

Usually when a query is executed through sqlplus terminal, at first it tries to fetch profile form the current directory, if no there in that case from the default location.

Suppose, by defualt if we connect to a database using  sqlplus, it dones not show the connected database information in the screen.  It only prompts with: 

sqlplus>

Now if we want to  show the connected database information in the sqlplus command line as:

username@db_connect_name>

In that case, we cas easily do that by modification in the glogin file as below:

set sqlprompt "_user '@' _connect_identifier >"



There are some other keywords for using in glogin file as:

SET LINESIZE	Followed by a number, sets the number of characters as page width of the query results.
SET NUMFORMAT	Followed by a number format (such as $99,999), sets the default format for displaying numbers in query results.
SET PAGESIZE	Followed by a number, sets the number of lines per page.
SET PAUSE	Followed by ON, causes SQL*Plus to pause at the beginning of each page of output (SQL*Plus continues scrolling after you enter Return). Followed by text, sets the text to be displayed each time SQL*Plus pauses (you must also set PAUSE to ON).
SET SQLPROMPT	Followed by the connect information variable in the form: SET SQLPROMPT '&_CONNECT_IDENTIFIER > ' changes the SQL*Plus command-line prompt to display the SID of the database you are connected to.
SET TIME	Followed by ON, displays the current time before each command prompt.
