Hi,
I have my oracle 10g server installed on windows 2003 server.
On another system i have oracle 10g client is installed having RedHad enterprise edition 4.
I want to connect my client to the database server.
I check using oracle universal installer it shows in installed products i.e.
oracle 10g client is installed on linex system.
but when i try to write any command like
[oracle@satish ~]$ sqlplus$
bash: sqlplus$: command not found
[oracle@satish ~]$ tnsping
bash: tnsping: command not foundand it doen't show any enty in applications for oracle which is strange.
as i am new to linux.
