Re: Oracle Env vars

Thank you.

Just moments after posting, I found the info about oraenv and coraenv while searching the Administrator's Reference, which I went to after being a little concerned from just the install docs.

I should have searched before posting the question.

Sorry for wsting your time, but thank you for the help.

Regards,

DG
