[B]在装10gAS时，选择infrastructure选项，会新建一个meta database :

the installer creates an Oracle Database 10g for the OracleAS Metadata
Repository
,这个database可以提供10g数据库的一样的服务吗？ 我还要另外安装应用数据库吗？

我是新手，请老鸟指教！！ [/B]

10gAS meta database is an Oracle9i  Release 1, Simple Version[/COLOR] database (9.0.5).  

Using it for other purposes is possible but not practical.   Firstly, it is not a full version database.  For example, it does not have CLOB data type even though Oracle8i has it.   Try it : create table T ( a clob);   Secondly, you need a separate licence to use it for other purposes.
