What is difference between ORACLE_BASE & ORACLE_HOME.
Hi,
ORACLE_BASE
------------
ORACLE_BASE specifies the directory at the top of the Oracle software and administrative file structure. The value recommended for an OFAconfiguration is software_mount_point/app/oracle.
For example: /u01/app/oracle.
If you are not using an OFA-compliant system, you do not have to set
ORACLE_BASE, but it is highly recommended that you do set it.
ORACLE_HOME
------------
ORACLE_HOME specifies the directory containing the Oracle software for a given release. The Optimal Flexible Architecture recommended value is:
$ORACLE_BASE/product/release. For example:
/u01/app/oracle/product/8.1.7.
