Setting Environment Variables in UNIX
If you are working in a Korn or a Bourne shell, use
export to set the environment variable.
Table 5 lists the variable for your database. For example, to set the variable for the Oracle database, you might use something like the following:
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle
If you are running in other than a Bourne or Korn shell, you may be able to use setenv, as in the following:
setenv ORACLE_HOME /oracle
