If you know the executable name in Windows, it is same on other platforms. If its windows its .exe file and its unix platform its an executable shell script. Hope this helps in future to figure out which file to run for a specific utility...

Thanks Pando

that's what I thought however it's different with NT, what I am trying to get to is I already had the existing database and I want to modify it. I don't see any option for mofidy the existing database. Could you please advise????

This is not the case always. In Windows executable names are often suffixed with versions e.g. SVRMGR23, EXP80, ORADIM73 etc.

Hi Sanjay

That is not entirely true...depends on the version of oracle..what you said is true for version belwo 8i only...if above 8i or 8i then the excutables names are same..
