<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hello,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are curently in the process of instrallin
OpenCms for evaluation purposes and wonder</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">about something written by the installer.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We wanted to use our existing testing
DB, but aborted the install when the installer</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">informed us that it intended to drop
our database, thus destroying all existing content.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is this really what should happen, or
is "drop database" just badly translated from German</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">or some MySQL lingo where terms mean
something different than in an Oracle environment ?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I would assume that adding a new schema
for OpenCms to the database should be enough,</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">thus allowing OpenCms to work with an
existing database.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">So.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1. Will installing OpenCms onto an existing
Oracle DB destroy its original content ?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2. Will installing OpenCms onto a separate
instance on an Oracle DB server destroy</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">other instances ?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">We are attempting to use OpenCms 6.2.1
on a Linux system with an Oracle 10g (10.1.0.4).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Cheers,</font>
