RE: DB Names in multiple oracle installs

You CANN'T(if not anyone correct me). Even if oracle home, version are different, their SID name should be different.

I tested. I'm able to create two databases on one oracle server with different SID, but at a time i can startup only one database.

REgards,
Nirmal.
