Attention: To align with new corporate security policies, and to match policies adopted by other communities within Oracle, the My Oracle Support Community access requirements will change beginning September 18, 2025. MOSC will now require that member accounts in our community be associated to a *corporate* email address. This means that users with generic domains (such as gmail.com, yahoo.com, and others) will no longer be granted access to the discussion forums and ideas labs. If this policy affects you, act now to change the email address that is associated with your Oracle (and community) account. Alternatively, you can opt to create a new Oracle account that uses your corporate email domain.

Oracle home preferred locations for 19c

Hi

Since now I have used for GRID_HOME and DB_HOME the following locations:

GRID_HOME: /oracle/12/grid
DB_HOME: /oracle/12/db

DB_HOME and GRID_HOME user:group is oracle:oinstall

For oracle base, I have used

/oracle/12c/base (for this one, installation produces warning, because DB_HOME is not inside $ORACLE_BASE, but I can go through with it)
or /oracle/12c

Is this necessary that DB_HOME must be inside ORACLE_BASE, so that DB_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/db ??

For 19c standalone installation, it produces warning for the cluster installation, if I used

GRID_HOME: /oracle/19c/grid
