It's entirely possible to have multiple Oracle homes with multiple
databases on windoze.
Not as slick as unix, but it works.

I do the same. One OH for each version. Listener uses the latest OH.
Databases set env script for OH required. Simple and it works.
I couldn't imagine having 14 OH's for 14 8i databases on one server :).
Now if I were running on Windows then I would have one db per server hence
one OH. Its all relative, do what you like!

Ray,
Boy are you ever. In our location every version gets an Oracle_Home.
Databases that share the same version share the same home. BTW: Oracle
Support recommends using the listener for the highest version installed. I
do that & it works very darn well, unless your into extproc's. Then you
should have an extproc listener for each version installed.

my 2cents...
Every instance get it's own oracle home, user id and group id. Total
isolation and separation. It
makes our auditors happy too!
Then again, I may be an extremist...

Not unless you have some peculiar situation there. Use separate
ORACLE_HOME
for each version of Oracle but not each database.

The separate ORACLE_HOME for each version takes care of this. You just
change the ORACLE_HOME in the oratab when you upgrade the database. If
you
use environment setting scripts, have them grab the correct ORACLE_HOME
from
the oratab.
something like:
export ORACLE_HOME=`/usr/bin/nawk -F: '$1 == SID {print $2}'
SID="$ORACLE_SID" "$ORATAB"`
where ORATAB is the path to your oratab file.
Sorry, I got no opinions on your storage arrangement.
