Hi everybody

I'm looking for the pitfalls in a mixed 8.1.7 / 9.2 environment. We're running 8.1.7 for development on Linux (SuSE 7.3). Now I want to install 9.2 on the same machine. I was thinking of getting rid of the 8.1.7 listener and having the 9.2 one serving both the 9.2 and the 8.1.7 instances. Or can I just use the 8.1.7 listener for 9.2 (is there even a change in the listener software ??).

How about the environment for the Oracle user ? E.g. the Java classpath points to the 8.1.7 stuff. Can I just redirect it to the 9.2 JRE without scr/%§ing up my 8.1.7 configuration ?

I'll go with different ORACLE_HOMES anyway, but I assume it makes sense to direct TNS_ADMIN somewhere else like /var/opt/oracle !? How about the oratab ?

Am I missing anything else ? Any input or horror story about "how-to-not-do-it"
will be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Stefan
