Hi,

You need set enviroment variables to your .bashrc

Like below. It of course depend witch Oracle database you did install


ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export ORACLE_HOME
export ORACLE_SID=XE

export PATH

See this Oracle XE related document https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Oracle10g

I use Ubuntu on a Virtual Windows XP Machine.

Use Virtualbox on Ubuntu and you can use Oracle on Windows.

I had used it in this way perfectly along with Apache Tomcat Server.
