Re: HELP - Oracle Admin on NT vs UNIX ??

Some differences between UNIX & NT :

> You have to create your services via the oradim command.
> $ORACLE_HOME/dbs becomes $ORACLE_HOME/database
> prior to 8.1 lots of executables have different name. eg for 734

    svrmgrl becomes svrmgr23
    sqlplus becomes plus33 or plus33w
    the same for certain dir's. eg. rdbms becomes rdbms73

In the basic NT-environment shell scripting is very limited ( when we compare with unix ) I personally use a NT-version of the unix-command's including een shell-emulator.

Hope this helps
