Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.misc -> Re: Checking if Oracle 9i is installed
My application's installation program has to check if oracle 9.2 is intalled
on the server, before creating a database for our application.
For this reason, we need to check som file / registry key to see if oracle
is installed. looks like that there is no straight forward way of doing it,
insteag we have to check some installactions.log file or something like
this.
Is there any better way?
