With which user/group should I install 8i. The Installation guide recommends oracle/oinstall. With this user, the default DB is not installed, cause the installer can't connect to the DB. Which directories have oracle/oinstall and which have xxxx/dba? I think this might be caused, that the db should not be created during the installation process. Better logging out and logging in under a *real* dba (user/dba). Do have installed jdk1.1.6 (which comes with solaris7) and jdk1.2 and then Oracle also installed jdk1.1.7. How do I have to set the CLASSPATH. I'd like to uninstall Oracle completely. I did with runInstaller and remove everything. Still there're some files on the disk. Can simply rm -rf the directories? -- ________ ________ ___ __ \__ ___/ Patrick Schlaepfer http://www.schlaepfer.com __ /_/ /_(__ ) Schulstrasse 12 _ .___/ /____/ CH-8962 Bergdietikon email: patrick@schlaepfer.com /_/ "If you can't convince them, confuse them."
