Installation With Existing Oracle Databases
Oracle9i Installation Planning 1-7
■ Software Only option: If you select this option, then the Oracle Universal
Installer (OUI) installs only Oracle9i software
. Database Configuration
Assistant does not start after installation, and no preconfigured database is
installed.
If a choice other than "Software Only option" is selected for database
configuration, then OUI will launch DBCA (Database Configuration Assistant)
during the installation session. If a "Software Only" installation is performed,
then DBCA can be run later from the command line. For more information on
running Database Configuration Assistant from the command line, refer to
"Non-interactive Mode" on page 5-2. For more information on database
character sets, refer to Oracle9i Database Globalization Support Guide
Release 2 (9.2).
Installation With Existing Oracle Databases
You can access different versions of Oracle on the same computer system at the
same time using Oracle Net Services
. You can only access Oracle8i and Oracle9i
databases separately
. You cannot submit a single query to access the databases
simultaneously.
