RE: Different Oracle homes for development, test, training ... environments

Yes. I use a different OH for each DB instance, especially for COTS apps. And, you should never mix the agent home with a DB or client home. As a personal note, I would not mix dev, test, qa, and prod on the same servers either.

Subject: Different Oracle homes for development, test, training ... environments

Hello,

We are going to separate the Oracle homes based on our promotion model (Dev, TST, QA, Training, ...). In this way we can apply patches to each environment and use the same promotion model. A few months ago, Oracle support suggested to us to separate Database Oracle Home from agent Oracle Home.
Anybody has any experience regarding different Oracle homes on the same server? One Oracle home for all databases vs. one Oracle home for each environment. Cons/pros...

Oracle 10g,
Windows 2003

Regards,
Estifan
