Thanks for you replies. I've never tried this before and it seems like there are two different approaches on the surface: 1. use two different userids, ora817 and ora920, to do the install. This seems stupid, since it replicates the product directory structure and oraInventory stuff under different ownership. This might be safer since it is like running one version in that everything is seperate, but maybe there are operational issues to not using the oracle userid. Seems like there may be a gotcha waiting in the wings. Like maybe you can't run the same listener for both, or worse. 2. use the same oracle userid for both installs and change the environment vars as needed. Seems like you could damage the first install if you made a mistake. Also, it seems like in a stressful failure situation you don't want to have to think about who's on first? I don't know, third base. Are both paths valid? =============================================================== Ray Stell [EMAIL PROTECTED] (540) 231-4109 KE4TJC 28^D -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Ray Stell INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
