Re: Deleting Oracle8 on NT(cleaning Oracle8)
Raghu, By shutting down the database and stopping the listener, you can delete all the data files and directories without a problem. This will remove your database. If you want to remove Oracle8 software, that will require purging the registry. I don't think I have ever successfully removed ALL Oracle software from NT.

Re: Deleting Oracle8 on NT(cleaning Oracle8)
Removing Oracle on NT (or any Windoze for that matter) 1. shutdown all oracle services (db, listener, etc.) 2. use the oracle installer and deinstall everything - this gets rid of a large portion of oracle 3. use regedit and remove the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\oracle 4. search the registry for oracle (delete every key related to the oracle install) do not delete keys related to Microsoft's Oracle ODBC (if installed it comes with VB) this is NOT an oracle product. 5. search the registry for ORANT (delete these keys) 6. SOUNDLY CURSE the ?genius? at M$ who came up with the idea for the registry. 7. search the registry for ORADAC - this is the oracle objects for ole data access controller (delete these keys) 8. delete the directories of oracle datafiles, software, installer (usually in Program Files), and in the Start Menu. 9. remove any references to oracle in the autoexec.bat 10. Since this is Windoze reboot the machine. Now oracle is gone. ;) Rodd Holman On Mon, 2001-12-03 at 12:10, Dwayne Cox wrote: Raghu, By shutting down the database and stopping the listener, you can delete all the data files and directories without a problem.

RE: Deleting Oracle8 on NT(cleaning Oracle8)
Raghu,
If you just want to delete one oracle database from an NT machine, do as you
suggest - delete all of the files (control, log, data), init.ora, and any
directories that held these files. Then, be sure and run ORADIM -delete
{sid} to remove the instance from the registry. That should do it.
If you wish to remove a version of Oracle software completely from an NT
machine, I sent a document over this list last week that outlines how to do
this. Pretty simple and straoghtforward - it has always worked for me. If
you want this doc, let me know and I will send it to you.
Hope this helps.
