ORA_DB variable in Oracle startup script

edited Oct 23, 2009 3:07AM in Database Administration (MOSC) 3 commentsAnswered ✓
What does the ORA_DB variable do in the database startup script on LINUX?  (/etc/init.d/dbora).  It doesn't appear to get set anywhere.  What is it for?  It wants to get passed along as a parameter, but why?  It is not set to anything.  When would one set the ORA_DB variable?

See below:

#! /bin/sh  -x

#

# Change the value of ORACLE_HOME to specify the correct Oracle home

# directory for your installation.

 

ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/dbhome_1

#

# Change the value of ORACLE to the login name of the

# oracle owner at your site.

#

ORACLE=oracle

Howdy, Stranger!
