Hi,

I am running Oracle 8.05 on Solaris 2.6. I have an old db instance 'ORCL' with db block 2k. I am now trying to create a new db instance 'ORCL2' with 4k block size. I would like to know how to specify instance name(SID) when I create a new db?? There is only 'db_name' in the init file and I don't think I can specify it in 'Create database' statement. Thanks.

BTW, what's the difference between db_name and SID?

Ed
