Re: Renaming ORACLE_HOME on Solaris

Harry,

I'm not sure it's so easy. Remeber that Oracle nowadays uses a orainventory (to me it's like
the Microsoft registry). If you want to install a patch the inventory could be l pointing to the wrong
directory. I'm not sure of this so you should check.

kind regards,

Ivan
