Setup Oracle XE Account on Linux

Must read

The oracle account that is created by the Oracle XE installer isn’t very helpful.

Setup Bash

Log into the system as root and su to oracle

#su – oracle

Copy over the bash files from the /etc/skel directory

cp /etc/skel/.bash* .

Edit .bash_profile and add ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID and add $ORACLE_HOME/bin to PATH

vi .bash_profile

export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
export ORACLE_SID=XE

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin

Log out and back in again and the environment will be setup with bash.  Now its easy to access sqlplus

[oracle@localhost ~]$ sqlplus /nolog
