Which statement? That if you do things "the dizwell way" it will work?

And where does it say on Dizwell to up2date anything? (Clue: it doesn't. You do a clean WB install, and you install Oracle onto that. You up2date afterwards.)

I have no idea, Steve. Since I don't invent things, but merely document what works for me, what is on the website er... worked for me! If I'd needed to apply the 3006854 patch (which you must apply for a 9i installation, true enough), I'd have mentioned the fact. That the patch is not mentioned in the 10g installation notes is because I didn't need it. All I can repeat is that it helps *not* to do things the website *doesn't* advise you to do (such as use up2date), as well as doing those things it *does* advise you to do, before claiming that the website advice doesn't work.

The stress in the statement you appear to disagree with, in short, is in the word "accurately".

Regards
HJR PS. I don't mean to sound defensive, though I probably do, but in the past three weeks I've performed six installations of 10g and two of 9i... and I used my own website to walk myself through them all (which is why the pages were written in the first place, of course). So it's not like this isn't repeatable, over and over. Received on Mon Dec 06 2004 - 03:09:43 CST
