We do it all the time. Not a problem at all. My current dev box has 17 instances on it (a shared box among many projects). There is nothing to prevent you from doing this. And turn-around for a development box is reasonable.
My production NT 4.0 box has two active Oracle instances on it - Production and Training. Running Oracle Failsafe to fail both instances over when the primary box fails.
So naa-naa to the NT nay-sayers.

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!

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...

Here's my situation:
1. Should I use a separate Oracle Home for each DB?
Not unless you have some peculiar situation there. Use separate ORACLE_HOME
for each version of Oracle but not each database.
Pros: --Allows upgrade/patching of 1 DB at a
time without affecting others (some are home-grown,
some are 3rd party).
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. -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Stephen Lee INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
