Also create links for the *.ora files from /var/opt/oracle to
$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin of each Oracle version, and set TNS_ADMIN
variable to /var/opt/oracle.
For multiple ORACLE_HOME's, write a script that prompts the user to
enter ORACLE_SID, then set ORACLE_HOME from oratab for that ORACLE_SID.
Execute it from .profile (or execute from command line as: .
scriptname). Something like this:
SPATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin ; export SPATH
ORACLE_BASE=/opt/app/oracle ; export ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_ADMIN=${ORACLE_BASE}/admin ; export ORACLE_ADMIN
TNS_ADMIN=/var/opt/oracle ; export TNS_ADMIN
ORATAB=${TNS_ADMIN}/oratab ; export ORATAB
print 'Select ORACLE_SID:'
PS3='SID? '
select sid in \
'orcl01' \
'orcl02'
do
case $REPLY in
1) SID=orcl01 ;;
2) SID=orcl02 ;;
*) print 'invalid.' ;;
esac
break
done
if [[ -n $sid && -s ${ORATAB} ]]; then
ORACLE_SID=$sid ; export ORACLE_SID
ORACLE_HOME=`cat ${ORATAB} |grep ${ORACLE_SID} | \
awk -F: '/^[^#]/' |cut -d ":" -f2` ; export ORACLE_HOME
PATH=${SPATH}:${ORACLE_HOME}/bin ; export PATH
if [[ ${ORACLE_SID} = "orcl01" || ${ORACLE_SID} = "xxxx" ]]
then NLS_LANG="AMERICAN_AMERICA.US7ASCII" ; export NLS_LANG
else NLS_LANG="AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8" ; export NLS_LANG
fi
if [[ ! -n ${ORACLE_HOME} ]]; then
echo "\nSelected ORACLE_SID not active in ${ORATAB}\n"
else
print
print ORACLE_SID is $ORACLE_SID
print ORACLE_HOME is $ORACLE_HOME
print NLS_LANG is $NLS_LANG
print
cd .
