I have ORACLE_BASE = c:\oracle
Oracle 8.1.7 installed in %ORACLE_BASE%\8.1
Oracle 9.0.1 installed in %ORACLE_BASE%\9.0
Oracle databases are in %ORACLE_BASE%\oradata\sid1\ (8.1.7) and
%ORACLE_BASE%\oradata\sid2\ (9.0.1)
Never experienced any problems with either the 8.1.7 or the 9.0.1 installs.
What problems did you have?
