Planning needs to be done by you. The runInstaller can do a lot of things, but not that area.

You will want to the the 10g install into a different oracle home.
Once your migration has been tested, backed up, certified, and signed off, at some point down the road you may want to delete the 9i software.
It's not something that you want to do until you are well past the point of the 10g database running well. Received on Mon Feb 06 2006 - 12:23:26 CST
