I need to edit the program path for OS 10.4 in order to run a sql client. Any ideas on how to do this?

Are you running the sql client from the command line (terminal application)?

No i downloaded a client from oracle, but if i can do it through the comand then that would be good also.

I'm not sure what your asking. Are you talking about this; PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin ?

In the csh this works;
set path=(/bin /sbin /usr/bin /usr/sbin /some/Oracle/Path)

This might work also;
set path=($path /some/Oracle/Path)

I'm not sure how to do that in the Bash shell.

Also note the order may be important to your program.

This would be better set path=($path /some/Oracle/Path)
if you are using csh or tsch. You would be adding your oracle it to the current path list.
