Re: Oracle Options

Dropping the user without deinstalling the binaries can cause confusion when applying interim patches. The patch sees the product directory and assumes the product is installed so it wants to make changes to the database but the user doesn't exist. Personally, I always do custom installs and only install the products required. Makes life simpler down the road when the compliance folks from our security group run there inspection tool (Application Detective).
