Yes, you can run multiple database versions on one host. Yes, one listener can be used for both databases. I would advice to start the listener from version 8i.
Choose V8.1.7 and patch 4 (or the highest available for the platform).

If on Unix make sure that you set your environment properly. Make sure that $PATH include one and only one $ORACLE_HOME/bin, not both. Same for $LD_LIBRARY_PATH or $SHLIB_PATH (depends on platform), $ORA_NLS33 and possible other variables.

If on Windows the registry will take care of the proper settings. Use the "Home selector" tool to make one of the homes the current. Received on Tue Mar 25 2003 - 13:37:47 CST
