Re: Oracle 7 application running against Oracle 8i (HP-UX)

you can run a character mode install. be sure to set TWO_TASK environment variable, and then the installation assumes a "client only" install. also, be sure to set the ORACLE_TERM environment variable to vt100.

of course, Oracle 7.3 will need to be installed in a separate home directory. i'd recommend you set ORACLE_HOME to the desired directory before starting the install. then there are fewer things to change, and less of a chance that you'll mess up anything in the Oracle 8.x install.

i strongly recommend that you do NOT run the root.sh script, since it will replace files already installed for Oracle 8.x.

for oracle 7.3.4 the executable is orainst, located in the install directory on the CD.
