The oracle user (group dba) should have a subdirectory called 'product' in it's home directory, with another subdirectory (7.3.x.x...) in it. This should contain the binaries (bin, dbs, rbdms, orainst, etc.). Another subdirectory (in the oracle user's home) should be admin, with stuff like bdump, cdump, scripts, etc. But, like I said, I don't know how they installed it. Another way to find out where the binaries are located is to examine your ORACLE_HOME environment variable, or look in /etc/oratab. All the binaries are located in ORACLE_HOME, so I can just tar that up and bring it over to another system. It'd be no problem for me to FTP the tar file and give it try... I PROMISE I'll delete it when I'm done... - Steve ______________________________ Reply Separator _________________________________ Subject: Re: Oracle 7 on FreeBSD Author: Julian Elischer at Internet_Exchange Date: 5/5/98 4:50 PM We have an NC-server here to evaluate. (from NC corp..) (aka oracle) It's a FreeBSD box and it has a fully native FreeBSD oracle on it.. My sugestion: ask NC corp to sell you a NC server get the oracle pre-installed :-) I haven't tried upgrading to a newer FreeBSD, but My guess is that it might work. It's NCOS 2.0 (whatever version of FreeBSD on earth THAT actually is..) If I knew anything about Oracle I'd have tar'd it up and tried running it on a newer FreeBSD by now.. julian Steve Shoecraft wrote: > > > > I too run Oracle 7 (7.3.3.5.1) on HP-UX (10.20).
