Well, it seems like it could be confusing either way, you gotta remember one thing or the other and get it right. Could be fun at crunch time. I'm more concerned about the hidden gotchas of not using the oracle id. I suspect the Oracle Corp devel comment about assuming the oracle userid is a very strong one. I'll check the docs ;)

OK, I'll go that way. However, if I don't get the env right, I'm pretty sure I can trash some of the software already installed. What are the critical vars:

ORACLE_HOME
ORACLE_BASE
ORACLE_SID

PATH
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
LD_RUN_PATH Please help me to not mess up my weekend! Thanks.
