Default install multiple versions of Oracle client on the same computer - 07-10-2007 , 08:53 AM






Hi everybody,

I have a little question for the Oracle Experts

For my job, I need to make a unattended installation of the Oracle
clients.

This is not the problem, I have seen that there are response files in
the distribution.

In fact my problem is that I need to install Oracle 8 client and
Oracle 9 client on the same computer.
Is this possible ?

Because I tried to install both version, and I am not sure for the
registry settings, environment variables.

I hope I am clear enough.
and thanks for your answers...

Certainly it is, simply use different ORACLE_HOME locations.

Windows offers the Oracle Home Selector, which allows the user to
switch from one ORACLE_HOME to another.

Question remains: Why?
Fred, why do you think you need 2 versions of the client?

Fred, why do you think you need 2 versions of the client?
In fact, I personally do not need 2 versions of the client, My job is
to deploy application silently.

And people how are in charge of the Oracle Project asked us to make an
unattended installation for client 8 and an other one for client 9.
And said that we should make those 2 versions of the client to cohabit
on the same computer.

and I don't know the reason. I have to ask them...
regards,

Just wondering, as normally you would not need two - the highest
version will do just fine (as long as versions are not too far apart;
10G client cannot connect to 7 db).
Seems more efficient to do just one - that's all.
