I have just installed Oracle 7.3.2 on two ultra sparc machines running solaris 2.5.1 in the last month. I had no experience with Oracle or solaris before this. I ran into a few problems. I have eventually finished installing. I felt the same way when I was installing it but after the process is over it runs very well. My suggestion would be to stick to it and get it running first. Then things will seem a lot better. For the record 90 percent of the problems I encountered were because I did not follow instructions or my lack of understanding. There were a few problems that were odd. I strongly recommend that you not give up. It is very reliable after you have figured it out. If you need help I can try to answer a few question.
