If your site has installed 10g, what $ORACLE_HOME setting are you using?
Historically, we've used the format $ORACLE_BASE/product/release, so
that
for say, 9i, we would see:
$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0.2
$ORACLE_BASE/product/9.2.0.4
Oracle has tweaked the OFA so that it now recommends ORACLE_HOME be=20
set like this:
$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.1.0/{type}_{counter}
where type is the product name: db - database server, client, etc
So for our first enterprise install, ORACLE_HOME would be set thus:
$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.1.0/db_1 (which actually is version
10.1.0.2)
Now, let's say we want to patch to 10.1.0.2. What we would do is clone
db_1=20
into db_2 and then patch the db_2 version, giving us:
$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.1.0/db_1
$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.1.0/db_2
Oracle cites the advantages of the new OFA structures as:
o You can install different products with the same release number in the
same=20
$ORACLE_BASE
o You can install the same product more than once in the same
$ORACLE_BASE
However, it's not visually apparent as to the specific release you are
looking=20
at when perusing the directory structure under the new OFA structure. =20
Thanks!
