Re: Developer 6.0 question

Hi Lev !

currently Oracle follows the stategy to separate the products in different ORACLE_HOME directories - so simply install the developer in a second ORACLE_HOME e.g. You can specify the new ORACLE_HOME during the Developer 6.0 Installation. (by the way Oracle ships an Oracle-Home-Selector with Oracle 8i - this tool is used to switch between 2 or more Oracle home directories
