Is oraenv necessary on Windows?

Hi there,

I am new to Oracle Database though I have plenty of experience with other databases. I'm going through the tutorials here: Oracle Database 12c Learning Library. They are very helpful, and I wish there were more of them!

The one thing that's confusing is that most tutorials begin by asking us to run "oraenv" like this:

[oracle@host01 ~]$ . oraenv

ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ? orcl

I can't do that, since it apparently doesn't exist on Windows. Is there some equivalent I need to run, or environment variable I need to set up?

The only way I've needed to diverge from the tutorials is a few connection commands, though that may be due to having a CDB/PDB setup.
