hi all,
i wish to uninstall oracle 10g from RHEL5 machine. i have deleted already created databased through ./dbca command after taking backup of few important databases.
now,is there anyway through which i can make out where the oracle is installed exactly, and whether we have any backup of it on this machine or not??

thank you in advance

Where did you do the software installation when you installed it? You usually have to specify a destination, which is where everything will go. Check for that directory, and blow it away if it exists.
Whether you have a backup of it or not is impossible for anyone besides you to answer. What do you use to back up? On what schedule? Was that directory included in the backup? Was the software installed before the last scheduled backup was run?
If you're just talking about another copy of it elsewhere on the disk, once you find the installation directory, you can do a find on some of the libraries/executables, and see if they exist elsewhere.
oracle is installed under /ora/app/oracle/product/10.2.0/oracle...
i know where it is installed, but what i donot know is how it was installed..
i want to know whether we can uninstall it through ./dbca, or is there any other way of doing it. Whether .bashrc file fill help anyway in uninstalling oracle?

It was probably installed with the Oracle installer. If you know the directory, you can shut down Oracle, and (as root) "rm -fR /ora/app/oracle/product/10.2.0", and that will get rid of that whole directory, with all the files in it.
thank you for all support...finally i uninstall it through runinstaller file under Oracle10g database directory. but point to be kept in mind is that through runinstaller, advanced database creation option need to be checked to get that remove product option...
