RE: Copy Oracle's binary.

Your
were right. If you want to upgrade the copied Oracle, you would have problem. What we did was move the executables from environment to environment, so we only do one time install on development machine, and copy the executables to all others (test and product).

      Copy Oracle's binary.
      Hello,
       
      I've two machines (with the same unix's 
      configuration on Sun Solaris). On has Oracle 8.1.7. installed and a 
      database. Do you think it's possible to copy Oracle's binary and the 
      database on Unix level to the new serveur instead of installing and 
      cloning the db ?
       
      Thank you very much.
