Hi folks I installed my first oracle client. Why my oracle home is something like $ echo $ORACLE_HOME /opt/app/oracle and not for example /opt/app/oracle/product/10.2.1 (with subdirs and version number). Did I do something wrong during installation? I didn't run the script /opt/app/oracle/root.sh, but sqlplus connection is working fine. What does the root.sh do exactly? What are consequences if not run? cheers Sven -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
