Manually set the PATH environment variable for Oracle
It is also useful to add the Oracle bin directory to the PATH environment variable to allow Oracle scripts and utilities to be run from the command line without adding a directory path qualification. Additionally, many of the Oracle administration scripts require this as they often invoke other Oracle commands without using a fully qualified directory path name. To add the Oracle bin directory to the PATH environment variable, enter one of the following commands: Windows systems: Copy set PATH=%PATH%;%ORACLE_HOME%\bin Linux systems: Copy export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
