Re: Create New Instance

You have to create a new instance first. You do this by using the ORADIM utility or you could use database configuration assistant. I think most folks prefer oradim. You did not say what platform/version. This is for Oracle 8.1 on Win NT/2000

Oradim syntax

 ORADIM  -NEW  -SID <SID>  -INTPWD  <password>  -STARTMODE <mode> -PFILE
<pfile>

 where:

<SID> -- the database SID

<password> -- is the password for INTERNAL

<mode> -- is the startup mode for the services, either AUTO or MANUAL

<pfile> -- is the full path and name of the INIT<sid>.ORA file
Review the ORADIM log file for any errors.
