Hello,
Suppose I have some SQL scripts in my /home/user directories, /usr/local/bin
directories, etc.
If I start 'sqlplus' from console in /home/user directories, I can load/execute the script by doing:
SQL> @scriptname

But what if I don't start sqlplus from that directories? How do I tell Oracle
to find the scripts in /home/user, then if it's not there in /usr/local/bin,
for example? So that I can be anywhere in the filesystem when starting sqlplus and can execute my SQL script.

Just like the $PATH environment variables in *nix system that tell the shell
where to find executables, is there a similar thing for Oracle?

Thanks for any help.
