Hi Martin, In the Knowledge Base, in the sub-pages dedicated to each component listed in the KB main page (for example, Oracle Text, Data Mining, etc), there are Notes covering the supported ways to manually de-installing/removing of these db options. They are mainly listed as "How to Manually deinstall..". hope this helps >Does anybody of you know of such a note or doesn't it exist? -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l -- //www.freelists.org/webpage/oracle-l
