I have got the connection to my database also, but the problem is whenever i quit the terminal i want to reset the entire thing once more.Is there any other option to start the instance without resetting the ORACLE_HOME,SID,PATH.

Hi,
there are 2 ways to set your environment:
1) Make amendments to your profiles in .profile
As with every Oracle installation you need settings for different Oracle instances, so you can have your options:
echo
echo "Available Oracle environments are:"
echo " 1 - Head Office                 (Oracle10g)"
echo " 2 - Oracle Application Ser. (Oracle10gAS)"
echo
echo "\n     Oracle environment [1] ? \c"
read C
if [ "$C" -ne '1' -a "$C" -ne '2' ]
then
    C=1
    echo "Default set to ${C}."
fi
case $C in
1)     export  ORACLE_SID=mydb1
        export  ORAVER=10.2.0
        export  UID=oracle10
        export  ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/$UID/$ORAVER/oracleDB
        export  ORACLE_HOME_AS=$ORACLE_BASE/$UID/10.1.0/oracleAS
        export  ORAKITPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/oraterm/admin/resource
        export  ORA_NLS10=$ORACLE_HOME/nls/data
        export  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
        export  LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
        export  TNS_ADMIN=/etc
        unset   SRCHOME
        export  NLS_LANG="ENGLISH_UNITED KINGDOM.UTF8"
        export  NLS_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH
        export  NLS_TERRITORY="UNITED KINGDOM"
        export  NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD/MM/RRRR'
        export  NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=".,"
2)     
        export  ORACLE_SID=mydb2
        export  ORAVER=10.1.0
        export  UID=oracle10
        export  ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/$UID/$ORAVER/oracleAS
        export  ORACLE_HOME_AS=$ORACLE_BASE/$UID/10.1.0/oracleAS
        export  ORAKITPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/oraterm/admin/resource
        export  ORA_NLS10=$ORACLE_HOME/nls/data
#   Oracle says this is for 64-bit calling applications...
        export  LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
        export  LIBPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
        export  TNS_ADMIN=/etc
        export  TWO_TASK=mydb2
        unset   SRCHOME
        export  NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
        export  NLS_LANGUAGE=ENGLISH
        export  NLS_TERRITORY="UNITED KINGDOM"
        export  NLS_DATE_FORMAT='DD/MM/RRRR'
        export  NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS=".,"
*)      echo
        echo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        echo !    Wrong Choice, try again : . ./.profile                     !
        echo !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
esacBut then you have to logout/login or run your profile to change the settings:
. .profile
2) run ". oraenv" that will ask you how to reset the variables.
