SQLPLUS not found
hi,

I am new to unix and trying to connect to oracle from unix.

I typed the below command and the error is sqlplus not found

Code:
$ sqlplus
-ksh: sqlplus: not found [No such file or directory]


can someone please tell me what is missing? I see that oracle is available on this unix box in the path /opt/oracle as a tar file.

thanks!

Hi.

You need to set the Oracle environment.

If you type oraenv do you get a similar error?

When no, then you could do:

Code:
ORAENV_ASK=NO
. oraenv DB_NAME

then retry the sqlplus command.

I get the same error for oraenv. and then I did used the commands you gave.. for the second command- the error message is the below.

Code:
. oraenv DB_NAME
-ksh: .: oraenv: cannot open [No such file or directory]

can you please check this?

it is a space dot oraenv space DB_NAME, is this correct?

Here's how (on Solaris 10) my environment looks before and after calling oraenv...

Code:
$ env
_=/usr/bin/env
LANG=C
HZ=
PATH=/oracle/product/11.2/bin:/usr/bin:
LOGNAME=oracle
MAIL=/var/mail/oracle
SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh
HOME=/export/home/oracle
TERM=xterm
PWD=/export/home/oracle
TZ=Europe/Zurich
$ . oraenv         
ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ? DB1
The Oracle base for ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/11.2 is /oracle/u01
$ env     
_=/usr/bin/env
LANG=C
HZ=
PATH=/oracle/product/11.2/bin:/usr/bin:
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/u01
LOGNAME=oracle
MAIL=/var/mail/oracle
ORACLE_SID=DB1
SHELL=/usr/bin/ksh
HOME=/export/home/oracle
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/product/11.2/lib
TERM=xterm
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/11.2
PWD=/export/home/oracle
TZ=Europe/Zurich

New in red, changed in purple. You need at least what is in purple to run SQLPlus (obviously changing the path to fit your needs).

Give it a try.

(you could also provide more information about your OS, Shell and user)

thanks scott. I am guessing may be oracle is not installed in unix.. it is just available as a tar file in a directory called oracle.. so i think it is not installed. i appreciate your help! Is there a way to check if oracle is installed in the unix box?
# 6  
Old 12-27-2011
If there's no Oracle user (id oracle), that's a good sign. I think Oracle server requires a local Oracle user, even if you're all AD'd / LDAP'd up, so that should be sufficient.

Software installation locations vary by OS, so if you can't find it using find, that might be a sign it's not installed.

Hi Scott,

the enviornment details (like the ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME, path etc) that you showed in one of your previous posts, is that stored in a file? if yes, can you please tell me which location this file has to go to and the name of the file?

Actually I have the details to set up the env. and I executed the commands and exported them.. but it worked in that unix session. I closed that session and opened an another one, but it is not working..

Thanks!
