Guys,
I am really annoyed with the 9iasV2 install. At one point it asked where I wanted to put the database files and stated that it was not a good policy to put them in the same fs as the Oracle binaries - being a good OFA-compliant DBA I have already been following this standard and preached the gospel from place to place. At one time during the install it asked me where I wished to put the files. Then I had to basically wipe out the install and start again. When I say "wipe" that is what I mean:
-/var/opt/oracle
-/opt/oracle
-/tmp
So....why is it going ahead running a DBCA, putting the database files in the same fs as the oracle binaries and not giving me the option again. I have gotten rid of everything related to the previous installation. I supposed I can go ahead and then move the files later. But this seems a trifle annoying.
Okay, just venting about the fact that the 9ias install is not as mature as the RDBMS install.
