Hi All,
This question pops up once in a while. I did not pay much attention to
replies before (not much of an NT person), but I think I will now, since I
am also running into similar situation and it's always good to learn a few
new things.
If anyone has a step-by-step procedure to do this right the first time,
please post it. All NT users will thank you :)
If not, add on to (or correct as appropriate) the following check list:
1) Shutdown the database (assuming only one is running)
2) Stop the database service (via MS gui or otherwise)
3) Stop the listener service (via MS gui or otherwise)
4) Manually remove all database files (optional?)
5) Remove the above services ( a sample command syntax please ... )
6) Use Oracle Installer to remove stuff (shall we say 'yes' to all those
silly questions about shared programs, ddl etc. ?)
7) Back up registry (exactly how?)
8) Edit registry to remove Oracle under (blah blah.... please provide the
dirs/subdirs names.)
9) Check and clean up Environment variables, if set for Oracle
10) Reboot server (I would, since Registry was fiddled with)
11) Check for any if leftovers.. (if found, what to do?)
12) ...anything else?
Once we have a 'proven' checklist, any volunteer's to post it on their web
site? I don't have one (yet).. Jared/Chris? Others?
Thanks.
Regards,
