Lisa,
The last company I was at had up to 4 different versions of Oracle on the
same server. We had 7.3.4 for one package, 8.0.6 for another, 8.1.5 for
another and were doing development on 8.1.6 databases. There were a total
of 3 development servers with, at one point in time, 30 databases. These
were all on Sun (Unix) servers. Didn't cause us any problems. One of the
packages that was on 8.0.6 had up to 12 schemas in it for different levels
of development, i.e. content development, c++ development, utilities
development, etc. As long as the machine can handle it (CPU, memory, disk
space) you can have multiple versions of Oracle running on it.

Hi everyone -
I posted this some time ago and didn't really get much response, so I'm
trying again. For those of you that are implementing multiple application
packages, how to you determine how many Oracle instances and servers to use?
For example - do you build one instance per application package and, if so,
on one server or separate? Is this possibly a use of NT vs. Oracle (if you
only have 1 small application per instance, you wouldn't necessarily need
the machine power)?
We implemented a few different vendor packages onto one Unix server. We are
now looking to upgrade oracle (and Solaris) and are having problems finding
a common version that all packages can run on. I have been asked to propose
a different strategy going forward, so that we have more flexibility for
upgrades, etc. I would like to hear how others have implemented and
supported the vendor-provided package scenario.
Thanks in advance -
Lisa
