I'm not sure whether it's me or Oracle that is daft (although I'll
gladly accept psychotropic prescriptions when dealing with 9iAS), but
are they now calling things "instances" that don't have databases
associated with them?  That's how I'm reading metalink note 243561.1,
where they talk about "installed on BOTH Infrastructure AND Mid-Tier
instances."  Or is it just weird for me because I'm trying to do it on
one box?  Or did I lose an instance somewheres?  Or is there some
different definition of home and instance on windows?
