I have never tried that don't think so. Because Oracle threads may run 
into race-conditions, it would not be a good idea...
--------------------------------
Q: Is there a better solution ?
Why do you want to do this ?
What platform/OS ?
I have run multiple versions of oracle on the same unix box without any
problems.  Also multiple copies of the same version.   Is there a better
way ? depends why you are doing it.

--------------------------------
I think Yes, we can install Oracle 8i & Oracle 9i on same machines. We 
have to use different home directories for both.
