18.3 ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

During database installation and session startup, the environment variables tell the database where to find important information and define system parameters required for database operations. The environment variables follow the version of the database and are subject to change.

18.3.1 User Environment

The variables are defined by the user before database installation in the root users and oracle users profiles located in the user's home directory. The list below shows the common variables set for the OpenView database:

ORACLE_TERM
Preferred terminal type

ORACLE_BASE
Path for Oracle data

ORACLE_HOME
Location of Oracle software

ORACLE_SID
Instance name

NLS_LANG
