Re: Multiple oracle Homes on one Server : 8.1.7 & 10

Yes it is technically possible, this laptop has 817,901,92 and 10.1 on it. Would I want to do it in production - no way. OTOH I wouldn't run 10g in production yet either.

for preference use the 10g listener, but 817 will need to be patched to 8174. the 10g install notes cover multiple homes.

I just want to know if it is technically possible to install Oracle 8.1.7 & Oracle 10 on the same server while users can connect to both databases without having to change any parameters on the server. The server is a Win2K server and has currently installed Oracle 8.1.7. We would like to install Oracle 10 in a seperate home.

Is this possible ? What are the restrictions ? Do we need to use the oracle utility to switch homes? Or can we just use two seperate listeners, one for the Oracle 8i and one for the Oracle 10 server ?
