Short answers...
1.) No Instances can be set up to trust each other or even belong to 'groups' of 'databases' with a single login for all of them 2.) The host string is the 'roadmap' that SQLNet will use to connect the client application to the server
3.) Hard to oneline answer this one but here goes...Creat a new tablespace ( a logical construct containing one or more physical files)

I would suggest that you check out the Concepts Guide by Oracle, look into picking up a copy of 'Oracle 8i: The Complete Reference' by Oracle press, and spend some time with the Oracle doc set in general. (BTW...The only reason I suggest the 8i version is that I saw it recently discounted to $14.99 U.S. , and 80%-90% of it will be relevent for some time)
