> The Oracle script oraenv (sh) and coraenv (csh) asks these questions. To bypass
these you have at least two options:
1. set ORACLE_SID manually and add /usr/oracle/bin to PATH (supposing oracle

   resides in /usr/oracle directory) and don't run oraenv/coraenv

2. Let oraenv/coraenv do the settings as follows (sh):

   Check to see that your oratab-file (/etc/oratab) contains an entry for    your ORACLE_SID (mydb)

   export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/oracle
   export ORACLE_SID=mydb
   export ORACLE_ASK=NO
   . oraenv               # Usually in /usr/local/bin
