Hi

The install guides that I have seen specify that you shut down all instances before any installations.

Is it really necessary to close all instances and listeners on a server when you are:

a)Installing a new version of Oracle in a new $ORACLE_HOME  

OR

b)Creating a new database under the new $ORACLE_HOME  

What about when creating a new database under an existing $ORACLE_HOME which has open instances.

Thanks.

Ben
