I have setup an environment variable (actually a number of them) DBS=/ora/app/dba/scripts ; export DBS
In my case this is where the majority of my scripts are stored when I am in sqlplus SQL> @$DBS/scriptname Darren -----Original Message----- Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 11:09 AM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L 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. RDB -- Reuben D.
