It depends.
Could you describe your end objective a bit more, and perhaps describe
your current and proposed environment (hardware/OS wise) for some more
accurate comments?
As an overview of my thought process:
- Oracle Server s/w is installed in an ORACLE_HOME, which defines one
version of s/w and it's patches
- Multiple ORACLE_HOMEs are allowed on a server, therefore multiple
versions of Oracle s/w are permitted (and may be run concurrently)
- One instance is basically the s/w running from one ORACLE_HOME,
interworking with one SGA
- One ORACLE_HOME "controls" one or more Oracle Database, each with it's
own instance
- exception: RAC, multiple instances from multiple ORACLE_HOMEs
control one database.
- The version upgrade process generally encourages two ORACLE_HOMEs,
with the new HOME taking over control of an existing database
Hope that helps
