The command locate is one of my favorite and it’s depressing if not installed.
Still remembered when asked by my manager from a decade ago, “What’s the difference between effective and efficient?”
To me locate is an efficient method vs find for Linux.
Here’s how to install and use.
[root@oracle-goldengate-1910-vagrant ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.9 (Maipo)
[root@oracle-goldengate-1910-vagrant ~]#
[root@oracle-goldengate-1910-vagrant ~]# yum install mlocate -y
[root@oracle-goldengate-1910-vagrant ~]# updatedb
[root@oracle-goldengate-1910-vagrant ~]# locate ggsci
/u01/ogg/ggsci
/u01/oggbd/ggsci
[root@oracle-goldengate-1910-vagrant ~]#
