Convention Meaning
Special characters The backslash (\) special character is
sometimes required as an escape
character for the double quotation mark
(") special character at the Windows
command prompt. Parentheses and the
single quotation mark (') do not require
an escape character. Refer to your
Windows operating system
documentation for more information on
escape and special characters.
Represents the Oracle home name. The
HOME_NAME
home name can be up to 16 alphanumeric
characters. The only special character
allowed in the home name is the
underscore.
In releases prior to Oracle8i release 8.1.3,
ORACLE_HOME
and ORACLE_ when you installed Oracle components,
all subdirectories were located under a
BASE
top level ORACLE_HOME directory. For
Windows NT, the default location was
C:\orant.
This release complies with Optimal
Flexible Architecture (OFA) guidelines.
All subdirectories are not under a top
level ORACLE_HOME directory. There is a
top level directory called ORACLE_BASE
that by default is C:\oracle. If you
install the latest Oracle release on a
computer with no other Oracle software
installed, then the default setting for the
first Oracle home directory is
C:\oracle\orann, where nn is the
latest release number. The Oracle home
directory is located directly under
ORACLE_BASE.
All directory path examples in this guide
follow OFA conventions.
Refer to Oracle Database Platform Guide for
Windows for additional information about
OFA compliances and for information
about installing Oracle products in
non-OFA compliant directories.
Example
C:\>exp scott/tiger TABLES=emp
QUERY=\"WHERE job='SALESMAN' and
sal<1600\"
C:\>imp SYSTEM/password FROMUSER=scott
TABLES=(emp, dept)
C:\> net start OracleHOME_NAMETNSListener
Go to the ORACLE_BASE\ORACLE_
HOME\rdbms\admin directory.
