Hallo,
Well, it's a bit more complicated than that..
OFA guidelines say that $ORACLE_HOME shoud be in the form of e.g.
$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.2.0/db_1
And application (DB) is installed into its $ORACLE_HOME and thus one can
have many different installations of many different versions.
Then there are other directories under $ORACLE_BASE that usually contain
Oracle Inventory (of installed software) and DB data files etc.
Usually everything under $ORACLE_BASE is created and taken care by
Oracle Universal Installer (which is Java application).
Another issue may be where to place oratab file. It is located in
/var/opt/oracle/oratab on SunOS and in /etc/oratab on other Unixes.
Cheers,
Martin
