rootpre.sh will check for prerequisites. <br />
it will not harm any existing installation.<br />
the script is pretty straight foward.<br />
please open the shell script and go through it.<br />
you will know it for yourself.<br />
thanks.<br />

Another 'database' or another database with another ORACLE_HOME?<br />
<br />
I'm not familiar with that particular script. &nbsp;I know the root.sh you run after you install Oracle but not the rootpre.sh.<br />
<br />
My guess would be no but I would vi the script to see what all it does. &nbsp;Based on the name I would say it just checks for prerequisites before install. &nbsp;If so, then no need to run again. &nbsp;Assuming you want two different oracle_homes in the first place.

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.
