OK, I am a newbie but am having real difficulty with my DB 10G which I had set up on Unix Solaris box but someone was messing around with it and now I can't see ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_BASE and ORACLE_SID.
Realise I should have originally set it in Bash_profile, too late.
So how do I set them back up, I cannot get SQLPLUS / AS SYSDBA.........bash: sqlplus: command not found
I have tried to reset but still doesn't work.
I got the ORACLE_BASE as:
training:/export/home/training/product/10.2.0/Db_1:N
but can't seem to set the three variables to run SQLPLUS, any ideas what I am doing wrong?What you are doing wrong is letting other people mess with your setup.
You have to get those variables set into your profile by one of several possible means.
You can probably find ORACLE_HOME for the server by looking at some entries in the 'oratab' file. If I remember, on solaris that should be in /var/opt/oratab. That will also show the value for ORACLE_SID. If you see a line in oratab that looks something like this:
ORCL:/oracle/app/product/10.2.0:YIn the above, the value for ORACLE_SID is 'ORCL' and the value for ORACLE_HOME is '/oracle/app/product/10.2.0'. In addition to setting those two environment variables, you need to add $ORACLE_HOME/bin to your PATH.
