Answer 1

If, like me, your goal is get the database host and SID to generate a Oracle JDBC url, as

jdbc:oracle:thin:@:1521:

the following commands will help:

Oracle query command to check the SID (or instance name):

select sys_context('userenv','instance_name') from dual; 

Oracle query command to check database name (or server host):

select sys_context('userenv', 'server_host') from dual;
