Yes there is a way.  In UNIX environments (I think this works in NT/2000 as
well) you can set the environment variable SQLPATH to a list of directories
that contain SQL files.  SQLPlus will search this path if the file is not
found in the current directory.

Hello,
Suppose I have some SQL scripts in my /home/user directories,
/usr/local/bin
directories, etc.
If I start 'sqlplus' from console in /home/user directories, I can
load/execute the script by doing:
SQL> @scriptname

But what if I don't start sqlplus from that directories? How do I tell
Oracle
to find the scripts in /home/user, then if it's not there in
/usr/local/bin,
for example? So that I can be anywhere in the filesystem when starting
sqlplus and can execute my SQL script.

Just like the $PATH environment variables in *nix system that tell the
shell
where to find executables, is there a similar thing for Oracle?

Thanks for any help.
