I realize this is a basic question, but I'd appreciate a bit of a sanity check. I need to install Oracle Label Security on our test box, and am wondering if I need to shutdown all databases in the same ORACLE_HOME before I perform the install. Trying to get an outage of all test databases in our environment is a political headache, so I was hoping that this install would not require such an outage. I've been googling/metalinking, can't find anything suggesting one way or the other. My thinking is that installing OLS is nothing more than sticking in some cat*/PLB files into $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin, but I might be wrong. Anyone? Thanks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------ Jeffery D Thomas DBA Enterprise Database and Middleware Services Thomson, Inc.
