Directory Structures

This appendix describes the default directory structures created when the Oracle8 database is installed on a Windows NT server and or client computer.

Specific topics discussed are:

Windows NT Server Directory Structure

Oracle Installer places all Oracle8 database products for the Windows NT Server by default into subdirectories of ORANT. This will be a different location if you changed the default Oracle home during installation.

The subdirectories of a basic Oracle8 Enterprise Edition installation are shown below. If you installed additional products, other subdirectories are created.

For Oracle8 Enterprise Edition, all .DLL and .EXE files and configuration variables have their version numbers appended. This convention allows you to maintain multiple releases of these items for backward compatibility. For example, the executable for the Oracle Names Control Utility version 8.0 is NAMESCTL80.EXE.
