<huh-spasm>

Right I need to clarify something I forgot to mention :> I have OEM 2.1 installed on to a mapped network drive, linked to my machine. Now as I understand, the Oracle directory in Program Files, is actually installed along with OEM 2.1 , Now, should I actually deinstall OEM along with Oracle, or would it be OK to leave it where it is, and just install 8i, and reconfigure OEM?

If I were to just uninstall Oracle and leave OEM I just delete the registry settings in :

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE and leave

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\ORACLE alone? No/Yeah? lol..

I tell you guys, it's been a looonnngggg Friday.. 1 Hour of work to go.. :0)

So again, your feedback much appreciated, what should I do?

<huh-spasm/>

Regards

Mark

Hi Guys,

Just wanted to double check with you guys - I am going to be trashing my NT 4, 8.0.4 test instance once I have managed to download the 8.1.6 zip from technet over my 31,200 bps line!! Yeah - 6 years later..

Anyway, I am going to totally wipe Oracle and start over a again, and just wanted to check on how to wipe completely -

Shut down the instance
oradim80 to delete all of the services (what is the command by the way?)
Delete the Oracle directory
Delete all mention of Oracle in my registry.

Is this the right way to do it? Should I do anything else? Also is there anything that I should watch out for with 8.1.6 on NT 4 sp6? I only have 128mb RAM on my NT box, will that do for an empty instance? The only reason it is there is to test tools against.. Do I need to worry about anything else?

Cheers

Mark
