The following is atleast one example as to why the Client should not be installed in the same OH as the Server Edition. /home/oracle/product/9.2.0.Client/bin:>ls -l sqlplus <-- Client -rwxr-x--x 1 oracle dba 961032 Jun 4 2003 sqlplus /home/oracle/product/9.2.0.Client/bin:>ls -l /home/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus <--Server -rwxr-x--x 1 oracle dba 958772 Dec 12 2002 /home/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus /home/oracle/product/9.2.0.Client/bin:>cmp sqlplus /home/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus <--Compare both sqlplus /home/oracle/product/9.2.0/bin/sqlplus differ: char 27, line 1 <-- They Differ /home/oracle/product/9.2.0.Client/bin:> /home/oracle/product/9.2.0.Client/bin:> Hope this clarifies.
