Installing two versions of oracle in a machine

Hi all,
I would like to ask if i can install both oracle 9i and oracle 10g on Solaris 10 in a Sun sparc machine? and both oracle will need to run its database at the same time.
Thank you!

i would like to ask if there is any limitation on the SID of the database in both version, can both version's database use the same name and configure to start when the machine start?The SID + the ORACLE_HOME are used together to determine the start of the SGA. ('How' is truly irrelevant other than for intellectual curiosity.)
Using the same SID for multiple instances that run from the same ORACLE_HOME is NOT possible (if they are to be running at the same time). Using the same SID for multiple instances from different ORACLE_HOMEs is not recommended - at some future time, it is possible that the two instances will actually use the same home.
The thing that seems to confuse people is that an instance is actually independent of an ORACLE_HOME. If you have two ORACLE_HOMEs at exactly the same software level, and each with one INSTANCE, you can use the software in either ORACLE_HOME to 'run' both instances. When you upgrade to a new release, you install the software and then tell the software to 'take over' an instance.
The purpose of the ORACLE_HOME is to provide the software for a specific service level agreement (maintenance and patch cycle). Any and all database instances that may follow that same SLA can (should?) be managed from the same ORACLE_HOME.

  • I have just downloaded Photoshop CC and found it installed two versions.

    I am using Adobe Creative Cloud.  I have just downloaded Photoshop CC and found it installed two versions. I beleive the 32 bit version and the 64 bit version.  Is there a reason it has installed two versions?  Can I remove one version as I am running a Windows 8.1 64 bit machine?

    I don't know if my issue is the same or not...
    I  updated Photoshop CC last week, and  now have Photoshop CC and Photoshop CC 2014 in my applications folder. When I open a file created in Photoshop, it opens Photoshop. However, if I open another Photoshop file (by double-clicking on it), it opens up in a second Photoshop app (not the app that's already open)... so I have two Photoshops open at the same time. And both are CC versions.

  • Installing two versions of AI

    Hi,
    I currently have AI CS5 and I was looking into upgrading to AI CS6. The thing is I'd like to keep a copy of my cs5 on the same machine and have CS6 installed as well. What would be the right way to do this and is this possible?   This is a win7 machine with 16 gigs of RAM and I have tons of space too.
    Any hints appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for replying but that doesn't answer my question. And no I wouldnt like subscription and rather would just buy it once and for all. But is it possible to install two versions on the same machine, will there be any conflicts and is there  a step by step tutorial on how to accomplish this?
    thanks

    Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
    However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
    Two large book stores have said using my account with them to download books to our two separate Adobe IDs is OK, but I don't want to find my husband is unable to open his downloaded books.
    Thank you folks for any advice you can give,

  • Same SQLs different in two versions of Oracle 12c RDF Developer's Guide

    There are two versions of Oracle 12c RDF Developer's Guide, one has the SQL insert as
    INSERT INTO articles_rdf_data VALUES (2,
    SDO_RDF_TRIPLE_S ('articles','http://nature.example.com/Article1',
    'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator',
    'Jane Smith'));
    the other one has the change highlighted:
    INSERT INTO articles_rdf_data VALUES (2,
    SDO_RDF_TRIPLE_S ('articles','<http://nature.example.com/Article1>',
    '<http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/creator>',
    '"Jane Smith"'));
    Which one is correct?
    Thanks.

    The second one is correct. It is from the latest version of the user guide.

  • HELP! How to install two versions of the same driver???

    Hello,
    Here is my scenario... I am a video chat host on different sites. I recently purchased two of the same Creative Live! Ultra webcams. When I try to broadcast on the 2nd site with the 2nd camera the other goes fuzzy and starts freaking out.
    Is there a way to install two versions of the driver and run both cameras at once without conflict? Please advise what to do since I would like to use these cams.
    Thank you for your help.

  • Installing different versions of Oracle on the same server

    We have a client that is currently on Oracle version 9.2.0.3. There is a project beginning that will have them upgrading to either 10g or 11g(still tbd). The project will have this happening in different steps. Therefore, we will need to continue to have the 9.2.03 db up and available while certain accounts are being migrated to the newer version.
    Question is - can you install 2 versions of Oracle on the same server without any issues?
    Or would we be better off purchasing a separate server to install 10g or 11g.

    Depending on the OS certification you should be able to run both. You'll probably have to patch up the OS though. One of my servers has 3 different Oracle homes (9.2.0.5 - 10.2.0.2).
    You can check the certification by clicking on the certify tab in metalink.

  • Can I install two versions of SOA suite using same Oracle database

    Condition:
    I installed Weblogic server(10.3.5) and SOA Suite(11.1.1.5), and
    I used RCU 11.1.1.5 to create the schemas(Oracle DB 11g-111170) for it.
    Plan:
    Now I plan to install another Weblogic server(10.3.6) and SOA Suite (11.1.1.6)
    and I will used RCU 11.1.1.6 to create the schemas for it.
    Question:
    Can I use same database(Oracle DB 11g-111170) for the two versions of SOA Suite? that is
    Can I Run the RCU 11.1.1.6 to create the schemas for SOA Suite (11.1.1.6) on the oracle database server I already used for SOA Suite 11.1.1.5?
    If I can use same database for the two versions of SOA Suite, how can I resolve schame name conflict?

    Hi
    1. YES. You can absolutely use SAME DB to have multiple Versions of SOA Schemas.
    2. Any SOA/BPM will need basically 4/5 schemas like SOAINFRA, MDS, ORABAM, ORASDPM etc. based on what you choose. And each of these Schemas can be Prefixed. Default prefix is like DEV, so schemas are like DEV_SOAINFRA, DEV_MDS etc
    3. Very Simple. When you Run RCU 11.6 and give the same old db details, in next screen it will automatically show the new Prefix for the schemas it will create. If DEV is used, it will show DEV1 like that. So just choose a Different Prefix and you are good to go.
    I have the same thing on my side. Single Database. Multiple RCU for SOA 11.5 and SOA 11.6 with different Prefixes:
    SOA 11.5 -> DEV115_SOAINFRA, DEV115_MDS, DEV115_ORABAM etc
    SOA 11.6 -> DEV116_SOAINFRA, DEV116_MDS, DEV116_ORABAM etc
    I Used the Prefixes like DEV115, DEV116 so that I know exactly which version of RCU schema they refer to.
    For QC, UAT, PROD we used prefixes like QC_*, UAT_*, PROD_* etc.
    NOTE: When you drop the schemas for some reason, make sure to give the appropriate prefixes so that only they are dropped and not others.
    Thanks

  • Two versions of Robo on one machine

    I have RoboInfo 5 and RoboHelp 7 installed on my computer.
    RoboInfo publishes to RoboEngine on Win 2000 server. RoboHelp 7
    publishes to RoboHelp 7 Server on Windows 2003 server.
    I recently upgraded to a newer computer. We re-installed
    RoboHelp and then later installed RoboInfo again. Since doing this,
    I'm not able to publish our RoboHelp projects. The server crashed,
    and so far we haven't been able to get it going again.
    Don't know if it had anything to do with re-installing the
    software, but I think I remember reading somewhere in the forums
    about conflicts that can arise between two versions of Robo on the
    same machine. Is this a possibility, and is it recommended that
    they be installed on different machines?
    It is interesting that now in my RoboHelp projects folder,
    the .xpj project icons show the RoboInfo icon, not the RH7 icon
    (and RoboInfo was installed last).

    There can be conflicts between different versions but you had
    both working OK before. I think the problem here is the order in
    which you installed them.
    As with most software that permits multiple versions to run,
    the installation procedure is earliest first.

  • Install two versions of Safari on the same Mac?

    Is it possible to install two different versions of Safari on the same Macintosh? It looks like we'll need to test for both Safari 1.x and Safari 2.x. Or will we need to use two different computers?

    One poster has said he had both Safari 1.2 and Safari 2.0.x running on the same machine under OS X 10.4.x, and another poster said he could not install Safari 1.2 under OS X 10.4.4. So I don't know if its possible or not. Even if you do get both installed, you may not see all of the differences you would in running Safari 1.2 or 1.3 under OS X 1.3.x and Safari 2.x under OS X 10.4 because if both are running under the same version of OS X, then both are using the same underlying Webcore technology. Some differences would still be apparent. The person who claimed to have both versions installed claimed that Safari 1.2 worked with some site he needed to use while Safari 2.x did not.

  • Install two versions of final cut studio

    Hi, can I Install two different versions of Final Cut Studio, and let them coexist without the previous one being erased? Let's say I have Final Cut Studio installed, and I want to Install Motion 3 that comes with Final Cut Studio 2, but keep the previous versions of the other programes. Is that possible, or the installing of Motion 3 will affect the Final Cut Pro and other applications that I had installed?

    You could also do a dual boot system, though on a MacBook Pro, it may not work, due to limitations of single internal system drive.
    Not sure what capacity your current system drive has...and you'd really want to think this through before committing.
    You'd essentially do a full archive of your current system drive, then a full erase, create 2 partitions with one running FCS1 and the other running FCS2. You'd likely need to place 'extra content' on an external (like for Motion/STPro/DVDSP/LiveType), to keep resources to a minimum on your system drive.
    Frankly, I'd be hesitant to go that route, but thought I'd toss it out there.
    Ian's suggestion looked much better to me.

  • Can I have two versions of Safari on one machine?

    The question first, then the explanation for the question:  Can I have both Safari 5 and Safari 6 on my machine and run them at the same time?
    I hate Safari 6 & 7 because they combine the search and URL into one bar, which really annoys me.  It requires an extra step when I type in the direct URL I want, because instead of returning the URL, it goes to a search page, and then I have to click the site I want.  Annoying.   So I have not upgraded from Safari 5 on my iMac, which I use nearly all the time.  I have tried Firefox because it still has the search and URL boxes separate, but I also like the little orange arrow in Safari 5 that quickly takes me back to my original search when I've ended up on rabbit trails in my searching and I want to go back to where I was -- Firefox does not have this.  (I dislike Firefox in general, anyway.)
    However, now I'm finding that some websites are beginning to warn me that my browser (Safari 5) is too old and may not work properly.  Now I have found a site for which indeed that is true -- a site I regularly use for my job, and a company which says they will no longer offer support for issues on Safari 5.  One screen is split into two, and I could always scroll the two sides separately, but after an update to the site, now they will not scroll separately.  I have a MacBook Air, which I rarely use, and tested the same page on Safari 6 -- it works on Safari 6.  Thus, the company will refuse to help me and tell me to just update my browser.
    I really like Safari, EXCEPT for the new versions' combined search/URL bar, so I want to keep using Safari 5.  Thus, I want to know if I can have both Safari 5 and 6 on my machine at all, and if so, then I want to know if I can have them both open at the time, for example, if I give them different names (Safari 5 and Safari 6, rather than just Safari).
    This is for my iMac, which is running Lion 10.7.5

    >>I could not see this reply in Safari 5, neither by refreshing the page nor by clicking "Latest reply," which did nothing.
    That's a very common issue with the software that runs these discussions, and usually nothing to do with the browser. Pasting a single character reply, often reveals the missing item(s); as does viewing the thread without signing in first.

  • Install two oracle8i database on the same machine

  • I can't install two versions of indesign together !!!

    Hello Folks.
    How are you?
    I installed Indesign CS4 but when I installed Indesign CS6, both versions are expired !!!. What is the problem?
    I use Windows 7 64 bit .
    Cheers.

    Did you enter the serial numbers when you installed? Did you deactivate the old installations first?
    I think this error message is telling you that the program is not activated, possibly because there are already two other active activations. Try Help > Activate... and either it will be successful, or you will get some dialog telling you why it isn't. If it isn't there should be a phone number included that you can call. If it is successful and you continue to get this error, then we'll need to dig deeper.
