I am new to databases. I installed oracle on my centos 7 machine. After successfull installation I am getting "sqlite3" but not "sqlplus". Can someone let me know why "sqlplus" utility isn't came of its own and how I can get it.
CentOS Linux release 7.6.1810 (Core)
Package : linuxx64_12201_database.zip
Your sqlplus program is under $ORACLE_HOME/bin/sqlplus . When you installed Oracle, you must have to select an ORACLE_HOME. If you use the one by default, probably it would be some like ( see below ).
Ensure that the environment variables ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID are set properly. The commands to use to set these environment variables depend on the shell you use to interface with the operating system. For example ( bash ):
export ORACLE_SID=xxxxxx # where xxxxx is the name of the database sid
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/12.2/dbhome_1 # example by default
export PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
# Once you execute these commands, you can run sqlplus
sqlplus user/pwd

I'm working on a customer server that has the environment setup as listed below. I have verified that the ORACLE_HOME is set correctly and added the environment settings found in /home/oracle/.bashrc to my .bashrc. When I try to access sqlplus I still get SP2-0667: Message file sp1.msb?
# User specific aliases and functions
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/app/oracle/product/11g
export ORACLE_SID=xxxORA10

export PATH=$PATH:.:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/java/bin:~/jre/1.1.8/bin

I added the following with the same results

first, check the location of your sqlplus binary:
$ which sqlplus
Maybe you are grabbing it from some other installation directory?
I would change this line in your .bashrc:
export PATH=$PATH:.:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/java/bin:~/jre/1.1.8/bin
to this:
export PATH=.:$ORACLE_HOME/OPatch:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/java/bin:~/jre/1.1.8/bin:$PATH
I've been trying to export oracle datadump with "expdp" utility in Oracle 18c. I've set the environment variables under ~/.bashrc as following
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/ubuntu/oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0/opt/oracle/product/18c/dbhomeXE
export ORACLE_SID=ORCL
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/ubuntu/oracle-database-xe-18c-1.0/opt/oracle/product
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin
When I enter the command "expdp" in terminal - it keep saying your ORACLE_HOME is not set
root#ip-172-30-xx-xxx:~# expdp
UDE-00013: Message 13 not found; No message file for product=RDBMS, facility=UDE
UDE-00019: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
I'm new to Oracle Database at present. What could be the possible issue ? Do I need to set environment variables at some other places too ?
Note that Oracle XE is not really supported on Ubuntu: if you really want to use Oracle, install it on Oracle Linux (freely available): you will never see Oracle Database running in real production on Debian or Ubuntu and you will need to use Oracle Linux or RedHat Linux or Suse Linux.
Do not run Oracle utilities as root: you don't need to and it is generally a bad practice on Linux to use root account when it is not needed. Use a non privileged account to run Oracle utilities like SQL*Plus or Data Pump and make sure that your Oracle settings are run for each shell session: putting them in .bash_profile for the right account should be enough.
For this specific error message just make sure that ORACLE_HOME is correctly set: it is likely that your .bashrc has not been run.
i have an issue with the environment variables for oracle 11g enterprise edition on ubuntu. I tried this, but didn't work
Add the following lines to /etc/profile:
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.X.Y/db_home1
export PATH=$PATH:/u01/app/oracle/product/11.X.Y/db_home1/bin
Add the following environment variables:
export ORACLE_BASE=/u01/app/oracle
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.X.Y/db_home1
export ORACLE_OWNR=oracle
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
but the error persist.
$. oraenv
ORACLE_SID = [oracle] ?
Enter the Oracle SID and click enter
ORACLE_HOME will be displayed if it is already set, if not you can set it here
$lsnrctl status will now show you the status
I have the same problem as listed here: How to recover or change Oracle sysdba password although I did not lose the password, I entered it twice in the configure script originally, and then when I went to login (localhost:8080/apex, password not accepted.
I don't have anything in the database, I just want to install and use Oracle-XE. I have tried apt-get removing it twice and reinstalling, but if I try to run /etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure again and I get "Oracle Database 10g Express Edition is already configured" despite the second time removing any folders I could find for Oracle XE.
I tried running sqlplus "/ as sysdba" but all I get is:
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
I tried setting the variable via export. (also tried set).
Tried: export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server/bin/sqlplus
and all the subdirectories of that. Same error every time.
What is the ORACLE_HOME supposed to be set to? The only reference I have seen either just say general or say the above up to the version number then "/db_1". I do no thave a db_1.
Let me know if you need any clarification. I don't understand what I did wrong in this process.
Usually the msb file not found problems are the result of an environment setting problem, but in your case I'm a little suspicious of the installation (I've never used the apt-get + configure method).
To check the sanity of the installation:
ORACLE_HOME should be set to a directory path one level above the bin directory where sqlplus executable is found.
There should some .msb files under $ORACLE_HOME/sqlplus/mesg
There should be hundreds (not sure of the number with XE) of .msb files
under $ORACLE_HOME (try find $ORACLE_HOME -name "*.msb" -print to show them)
Your PATH should include $ORACLE_HOME/bin.
All files under ORACLE_HOME should be owned by user:oracle group:dba.
I had the same issue. In my home folder I've got a script named sqlplus.sh that takes care of this for me, containing:
ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/server
export ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_SID=XE
export ORACLE_SID
NLS_LANG=`$ORACLE_HOME/bin/nls_lang.sh`
export NLS_LANG
PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$PATH
export PATH
sqlplus /nolog
Had the same problem,
All i had to do whas set the oracle shell variable:
. /u01/app/oracle/product/11.2.0/xe/bin/oracle_env.sh
Sorterd!
You have to set LANG as well, look for files named 'sp1*.msb', and set for instance export LANG=us if you find a file name sp1us.msb. The error message could sure be better :)
ORACLE_HOME needs to be at the top level of the Oracle directory structure for the database installation. From that point, Oracle knows how to find all the other files it needs. For example, the error message you get is because Oracle can't locate the message files to report errors with (should be in the various mesg directories below the oracle home. Instead of the above value you give, I would try
export ORACLE_HOME=/usr/lib/oracle/xe/app/oracle/product/10.2.0
Once I also got that same type of error.
I.E:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>SQLPLUS SYS AS SYSDBA
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
This error is occurring as the home path is not correctly set. To rectify this, if you are using Windows, run the below query:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>SET ORACLE_HOME=C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>SQLPLUS SYS AS SYSDBA
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on Tue Apr 16 13:17:42 2013
Copyright (c) 1982, 2006, Oracle. All Rights Reserved.
Or if you are using Linux, then replace set with export for the above command like so:
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>EXPORT ORACLE_HOME='C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2'
C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_2>SQLPLUS SYS AS SYSDBA
SQL*Plus: Release 10.2.0.3.0 - Production on Tue Apr 16 13:17:42 2013

This is the right way to clear this error.
export ORACLE_HOME=/u01/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/db_1
sqlplus / as sysdba
After installing weblogic and forms server on a Linux machine we met some problems initializing sqlplus and tnsping. We altered the bash_profile in a way that the forms_home acts as the oracle home. It works fine, both commands
(sqlplus and tnsping) are executable for user oracle
# .bash_profile
# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi
# User specific environment and startup programs
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin
export JAVA_HOME=/mnt/software/java/jdk1.7.0_71
export ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_FRHome1
export PATH=$PATH:$JAVA_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/bin
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_FRHome1/lib
export FORMS_PATH=$FORMS_PATH:/oracle/Middleware/Oracle_FRHome1/forms:/oracle/Middleware/asinst_1/FormsComponent/forms:/appl/myapp:/home/oracle/myapp
set <ORACLE_HOME> path variable
example
path ORACLE_HOME
value is C:\oraclexe\app\oracle\product\10.2.0\server
I'm trying to use cygwin sqlplus to connect to a remote oracle installation located at myserver.mycompany.com port 1530. When I try
sqlplus username#myserver.mycompany.com:1530/orcl
I get the error:
ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
When I set ORACLE_HOME to /cygdrive/c/oracle/product/10.2.0/client_1, I get a different error:
Error 6 initializing SQL*Plus
Message file sp1<lang>.msb not found
SP2-0750: You may need to set ORACLE_HOME to your Oracle software directory
I can telnet to the server's port 1530, and the SQL Developer installed locally is also able to connect to the database. What am I doing wrong?
I wasn't aware there was a native cygwin client for Oracle (correct me if I'm wrong here but I can't find any mention of it on Oracle's web site either). If you're using Cygwin with the Windows client you need to use a native windows path. It won't understand your /cygdrive path.
However, I have used Win32 Oracle clients with cygwin and made it work - the same shell scripts would work on Cygwin, Linux and Solaris.
There isn't a cygwin Oracle client. As above answer, use the ORACLE_HOME set to the windows path.
For the first half of your question, try seeing what the TNS_NAMES env variable is set to, and if not set, you may need to try setting it to the correct place. Usually it defaults to %ORACLE_HOME%/network/admin/tnsnames.ora . SQL Developer keeps it's own copy of the tnsnames file, so you can't reply upon that to fix the problem.
Combining the details from the other answers (which took me a little, so I post it as separate answer instead of comments):
The $ORACLE_SID and, if set, $TNS_ADMIN (and probably other path-related Oracle variables) must use Windows-paths. Your Cygwin $PATH variable should of course use the Cygwin notation (/drives/c/…). So I've included into my .bashrc:
export ORACLE_HOME=c:\\Oracle\\product\\12.1.0\\dbhome_1
export TNS_ADMIN=d:\\Oracle\TNSAdmin
export PATH=$PATH:$(cygpath -u $ORACLE_HOME)/BIN
After that, I had no more issues calling e.g. tnsping or sqlplus. As the above is just an example, you must of course adjust the paths to reflect your installation/configuration :)
NXC is right - it wasn't a cygwin client I was using, but the windows sqlplus client.
I set the windows environment variables for ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID and was then able to run sqlplus in a cygwin bash shell using the net_service_name from tnsnames.ora.
The way it worked for me was to remove /cygdrive/d or /cygdrive/c and replace them with with d:/ or c:/ and then your sqlplus call within cygwin session will work. The /cygdrive/DriveLetter is confusing it.
I have same error like you,
you should set not only ORACLE_HOME in windows Variables,
But also PATH include %ORACLE_HOME%\bin
then you can open windows cmd,
try sqlplus username/password#your_define_tnsname
if okay, then remove all ORACLE PATH setting in cygwin, restart cygwin,try it.
if failure, should let sqlplus works well in windows cmd at first
I have TNS_ADMIN variable configured and it works properly in Win Environ
I used cygpath mnodification in .bashrc
If TNS_ADMIN is configured add following row to .bashrc
export TNS_ADMIN=$(cygpath -m $TNS_ADMIN)
