Re: Install both Oracle 8i and 9i on a single Sun Solaris Box?

Someone suggested that I rename the exisiting files of 9i (oratab and orainstall.loc) under /var/opt/oracle

so that OUI will install a "clean" copy of 8i.

Will it cauase any problem (like a seprate listner fo 8i)?

If the ORACLE_HOME of 9i is /opt/oracle/920, can I install 8i at a completely different directory (e.g., ORACLE_HOME = /u01/oracle/app/product/817)?

Thank you so much for the help.
