Hi All,

I have Oracle 8.1.7.0.0 (32-bit) and three instances on Sun Solaris 8 (64-bit). I shutdown all instances and listeners, then tried to apply Oracle patch 8.1.7.4.0 (64-bit) and of course messed up the database server. Now the Oracle server gives fatal errors when I use svrmgrl. My question is can I uninstall Oracle and reinstall it? Will this uninstall and reinstall of Oracle affect the three instances I have (all are shutdown now)? Will they function normally after I reinstall Oracle?

Thank you very much,

Jiong
