Thanks everyone for the feedback.
We’re going with the one account option. All good so far.
Thanks.

Subject: oracle and grid accounts
A DBA is pushing to eliminate the grid account from future installs.
So the Oracle database software and the Oracle Grid software would be installed
under the oracle account.
The justification is that we shouldn’t have to switch between the oracle and
grid accounts to do whatever commands needed. We can simply execute a script
to “switch the environment”.
I came across the Oracle recommendation in the documentation which is to have
an oracle account and a grid account.
I am wondering if anyone is aware of any technical limitation?
TIA
