What is the difference between .bash_profile and .profile?
My Env: Sun Solaris 5.8
In my environment there is no .profile, but i have .bash_profile
which doesnot have ORACLE_SID decalred. Then how do i know which database is this env is pointing to?
And in this env, Oracle is not OS authentication, it is passwd authentication login.

If you use the BASH shell, use ~/.bash_profile as the preferred configuration file for environment settings. Add your ORACLE_SID and ORACLE_HOME to this file.
In the absence of ~/.bash_profile and ~/.bash_login, ~/.profile is read. It can hold the same configurations, which are then also accessible by other shells (for example SH and KSH).
