It is surprising how few DBAs are aware of oraenv, and even fewer seem
to have read the relevant docs at
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/statements_4007.htm#i2059073
(Section 1.2.3 describing how and why oraenv is used)
The idea of PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin is, unfortunately, taught in
Oracle University classes and has become a widespread practice. Even OU
course developers were, for the longest time, not aware that oraenv
cleans up the PATH.
