Hi ,
Thanks for the quick reply. when i typed the command that you gave i got a long listing . when i try to check for the ORACLE_HOME PATH variable it says that it is not set ..then what do i do to use oracle from my login ....i know what variables to set but it says that variables are not set ...then how come other users are using it ? is it because it is not set in my login it is giving that the variable is not set ?
thanks
