AFAIR (last time i installed an oracle-client myself is about 2 years ago (i never had to install a server)) the "default" is/was something like: /oracle/OraHome1 My DBA collegues use a default of first 3 numbers without delimiters ie: /server/oracle/920 When i connect to a server with sqlplus i get this: - snip - Connected to: Oracle9i Release 9.2.0.5.0 - 64bit Production JServer Release 9.2.0.5.0 - Production - snip - Oracle shows 5 numbers.
