Guys,

I am really annoyed with the 9iasV2 install.  At = one point it asked where I wanted to put the database files and stated = that it was not a good policy to put them in the same fs as the Oracle = binaries - being a good OFA-compliant DBA I have already been following = this standard and preached the gospel from place to place.  At one = time during the install it asked me where I wished to put the = files.  Then I had to basically wipe out the install and start = again.  When I say "wipe" that is what I = mean:

-/var/opt/oracle
-/opt/oracle
-/tmp

So....why is it going ahead running a DBCA, putting = the database files in the same fs as the oracle binaries and not giving = me the option again.  I have gotten rid of everything related to = the previous installation.  I supposed I can go ahead and then = move the files later.  But this seems a trifle = annoying.

Okay, just venting about the fact that the 9ias = install is not as mature as the RDBMS install.
