I would consider it as a excellent pattern of courtesy.

You are clutching at straws because once again you are wrong!

The problem here is your description. The method I use creates an ASM instance and a normal database instance using the same ORACLE_HOME. A practice that is considered normal by Oracle:

"If you are running a single database instance on a server or node and have no plans to add one or more database instances to this server or node, ASM and the database can share a single Oracle home"

By constantly describing the database as a production ASM database, you are mixing terminology, thus implying that two ASM instances are runnig in a single ORACLE_HOME, which of course there are not. There is not an ASM instance and a ASM database, there is just an ASM instance and a database instance.

Perhaps you should consider:

1) Using the correct terminology in future.
2) Reading my articles properly, before announcing to the world I've made a mistake, when in fact it is you that has made the mistake!
3) Contact me with your questions about the content of my aticles, before making a fool of yourself in front of the whole world!

I'm getting really bored of half-wits like yourself!

Cheers

Tim...
