Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> Re: 10g $ORACLE_HOME
Jeff,
Lets ask your self how many max OH do you have in your environment?
On our site we have ~20 servers, mostly development environments with
relatively many OH-s on each server.
No one server has more then 10 OH. Is there any reason to add additional
directory level to make life easier?
I suppose NO.
.

I can do it now as well ;)
Just name directory a little bit different, for example:
9.2.0.4.db 9.2.0.4.cl 9.0.4.infa 9.0.4.bif
