Re: Oracle 7.3.3 & Oracle 8.0.4 on Sun Solaris.. Can they run together?

Hello Vlad,

you must put in different ORACLE_HOME directory, before you're run orainst from 8.0.4
set ORACLE_HOME to different dir or CREATE DIFFFERENT UNIX USER as AN ORACLE OWNER

> /var/opt/oratab - these are sample entries :
733:/data1/app/oracle/product/7.3.3:N
804:/data1/app/oracle/product/8.0.4:N
oratab will be read when you execute . oraenv

hope it'll help ..
