Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: oracle sid
That would be the Bourne shell, which requires a different syntax.
set ORACLE_SID=admdevs4; export ORACLE_SID
Or, heaven forbid, the C shell, which requires aspirin.
May I make a suggestion for Chirag? Find a good book on the use of Shell (ksh, bash, whatever) and work through the examples so that you understand it.
No one (well, almost no one) minds answering simple questions here, but it is understood that due diligence on the part of the poster would be to first attempt to learn the technology you are having trouble with.
