Billy:
OFA refers to 'Optimal Flexible Architecture'. It is a standard for
installing software, file system names, etc. developed by Cary Millsap
of Oracle Corporation. It is discussed in some detail at the back of
the Oracle Performance Tuning Guide shipped with the printed manuals
that came with your software. Many people, including yours truly, use
OFA, or a slight variation thereof, to build their Oracle environment.
Believe me, you need a standard, whether its OFA or a home grown one.
But remember, a lot of folks use OFA, so you will encounter it again
when you change employers.
