Hi!
can you please ( I beg) tell me which platform
supports
(in the sense of Oracle having certified it)
both Oracle 7.3.4 and Oracle 8.1.7?
Hi Scott,
Nice to hear from you again. I am migrating several warehouses on the same server from 734 to 817. If I use a separate owner then I won't have to worry about running different profiles when I sign on. (heh I'm getting older with some gray hairs and I am liable to forget which set of databases I'm working on). I also can set up separate cron jobs under the different owner sign-ins and easily migrate one warehouse at a time. I don't really see any drawbacks to using different owners even if it isn't a requirement.

Ben,
This is no problem. They don't need to have different owners. If you are running Oracle Applications 10.7, and you want to use an Oracle 8i instance to house it, then you must do this type of install. You will have 2 Oracle homes, each with it's own database listener and all associated files. They will be installed in separate directories, by default. You will need to have a way to setup your environment when you login to pick the Oracle home you want to use and setup all of the environment variables correctly.
