Question:
:
I can get into SQL*Plus from OEM, but when I try to enter SQLPLUS from my
UNIX prompt, I get the following error:
sqlplus: command not found
Answer: This says that the OS cannot find the program named sqlplus in
its PATH.
First, the
Oracle Shell Scripting book has full details on locating a
missing executable.
Start by a cd to the $ORACLE_HOME/bin and see if it works . . .
If this works, you need to set your PATH to include your
$ORACLE_HOME/bin directory.
Next, we start SQL*Plus with the sqlplus command.
When starting SQL*Plus include the user name that you wish to
connect to.
Here are examples of the use of this command:
C:\>sqlplus john_dba/mypass
SQL*Plus:
Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Sun Feb 20 11:28:13 2005
To
make the change permanent, add the settings to your .login,
.profile, or .kshrc file . . .
