I do the same thing in Unix and NT both. I set up all the environmentals that I can so that I only need to change them in one place for upgrades or when directories move. I reference all of these things in my Unix and NT batch scripts.

In addition to these, we also set couple of other variables like ORALOG which points to UDUMP/BDUMP/CDUMP etc as part of oraenv. so, to see alert log for current SID, I just have to do "cd $ORALOG" ... I love Unix ...

Not to my knowledge.

Our .profile for Oracle account uses oracle supplied 'oraenv' to set up appropriate environment using defined aliases. We have 20 databases on our test server (7.3 -> 9.2). One profile for oracle id. But, we source an 'alias' file for the server in the .profile file:

. .hptest.alias

File .hptest.alias contains:

#Add Database name here using the following format alias TBS='export ORACLE_SID=TBST; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;'

alias PRMT='export ORACLE_SID=PRMT; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' 
alias PRMX='export ORACLE_SID=PRMX; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' 
alias VP1D='export ORACLE_SID=VP1D; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv; cd

/u01/home/oracle/admin/VP1D;'

alias SDSD='export ORACLE_SID=SDSD; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' 
alias SDST='export ORACLE_SID=SDST; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' 
alias SVRP='export ORACLE_SID=SVRP; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' 
alias SVRT='export ORACLE_SID=SVRT; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' 
alias IDSU='export ORACLE_SID=IDSU; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;' 
alias IWVT='export ORACLE_SID=IWVT; export ORAENV_ASK="NO";. oraenv;'

........

When changing environment for a given SID, we just type the SID name, and get the right environment set.
ORACLE_SID is part of the UNIX prompt as well..

HTH,

List,

Does Oracle provide default environment setup scripts. Like dbshut and dbstart? Has anybody ever heard of ORACLE_PROFILE? I am trying to set up 9i and 8i on the same box.

Tthanks,

David Ehresmann
