Oracle Installation

Tips 1 (Question):

You are in the process of installing Oracle Database 10g on your client computer. You have set the value for environment variable ORACLE_HOME to /oracle/ora10g.
what does it Mean?

• The directory location for the base of OFA

• The directory location where the Oracle software is installed

• The directory location where the script files of the database are stored

• The directory location where the operating system searches for Oracle executables, such as SQL*Plus

Explanation:
The ORACLE_HOME environment variable specifies the directory location where the Oracle software is installed. In this scenario, /oracle/ora10g is the directory where the Oracle software is installed.

The ORACLE_HOME environment variable does not specify the directory location for the base of OFA. The ORACLE_BASE environment variable specifies the directory location for the base of OFA.

The ORACLE_HOME environment variable does not specify the directory where the script files of the database are stored.
The % ORACLE_HOME%/rdbms/admin/ directory specifies the location where the script files of the database are stored.

The ORACLE_HOME environment variable does not specify the directory location where the operating system searches for Oracle executables, such as SQL*Plus. The directory where the operating system searches for Oracle executables is specified
using the PATH environment variable.
