In your Oracle home, BIN directory.

Always remember to mention the OS details for such questions.

In Windows 7, it is easy to locate the sqlplus.exe using following steps :

1. Go to START.
2. Type SQLPLUS /NOLOG in "Search Programs and files"
3.
/forum/fa/12025/0/
4. Right click on the icon, select "open file location".
5. It should open a new window directing you to the directory having the sqlplus.exe.

For me it is ORACLE\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\BIN

Umm, I doubt that you'll find sqlplus /nolog anywhere on your disk. NOLOG is the argument to the SQLPLUS command which starts a command line session that doesn't connect to the database; it is not the command itself.

In Windows its probably an icon which gets displayed in search result as SQLPLUS / NOLOG, however, it points to the sqlplus executable client in the BIN folder.
It is the same as searching for sqlplus.exe.

@OP, if you want to simply open sqlplus then you could just type it in Run.

Note : All the above mentioned steps are only applicable for Win OS. Of course, the client exe file would reside in BIN folder inside oracle home for any OS.

That's probably why we discuss it in Windows forum.

LF, sorry that I didn't realize that the topic is in Windows forum therefore implictly means OP's OS is Windows, hence I kept stressing about the OS, and that my suggested steps are only for Win 7 OS. My bad.

Hi Laltit,

Whenever we search SQLPLUS then show path in our system as D:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin

But now I am facing some problems here when ever we use it command prompt then some issue is coming like

D:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin>sqlplus/nolog
The system cannot find the path specified.




D:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin>sqlplus
'Oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin' is not recognized as 
an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file


How to resolve it.

Do you know how to execute a command in Windows?
You should first learn Windows before Oracle on Windows.
"D:\Oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin>" is NOT a command it is the prompt you have when you are in this directory.

You can lead some folks to knowledge, but you can't make them think!

Hello EdStevens,

We could not get from your given refer links, while refer link had been discussed by me, where we asked there about how to create directory.

But we are not creating directory here just checking file in command prompt.

No, I was referring to the more fundamental question of not knowing how to enter a command at a command prompt; of looking at an example that includes the command prompt as well as the actual command and thinking that the command prompt IS the command. In short, of not understanding the fundamentals of using a command prompt. Also exhibited in http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/618667/#msg_618667
