Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: multiple oracle homes
Ray - Perhaps you misunderstood. You won't find anything in the
documentation saying "our developers didn't have time to test every
installation permutation against alternate userids". I used to be a
developer at a software vendor. I know how the developers think. You don't
like to test. You take the path of least resistance. If an enterprising
tester/developer wannabe files a priority one bug against your software
because he found a small problem when he tried alternate userids, you let
him know if he busts your chops for something so lousy and insignificant
again, you'll make sure he never becomes a developer. Okay, I feel better .

Oh yeah, what is this about doing it this weekend? On your test server? Hey we got rules in the secret fraternity of Oracle DBAs. Don't make the rest of us look bad.

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
