Does anyone know if Personal Oracle 8i can co-exist on the same NT or win2k box with Oracle EE 8i database and/or Oracle 8i client? As DBA, I have a QA person who has to test out software on PO8i. I am not sure whether I have to put PO8i on a standalone machine, or whether I can install it on a box with either an existing Oracle 8i client or an existing Oracle 8i standard or EE database. If PO8i can co-exist with a client or db on the same win2k box, can the PO be installed in its own oracle home after the db or client was installed, or does the db or client have to be installed in an oracle home after the PO8i is installed?
 
I have Personal Oracle 8.1.7 and Oracle Client 8.0.5 installed on my PC (Windows 2000) - in separate Oracle homes, of course. I don't think it matters which one is installed first.

I don't see any reason why PO couldn't co-exist with any other Oracle database, as long as they are in separate homes.
