How can I set environmental variable so it persists?

I have re-installed oracle software on my test server. I also reset ORACLE_HOME but every time I login to the server and do echo $ORACLE_HOME, it shows me the old value that points to a folder that is no longer there.

For example the old $ORACLE_HOME was /u10/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.4.0

I used

export ORACLE_HOME=/u10/app/oracle/product/11.2.0.3

and it worked out fine but nect time I logged in, it showed me /u10/app/oracle/product/10.2.0.4.0 again.

How can I set environmental variable so it persists?

Howdy, Stranger!
