Multiple databases managed by one instance

Hi there.

Being an Informix person, it's taken me a while to get used to the common idea that one instance = one database under normal Oracle usage. But I would like to buck this trend. I'd like to have one instance manage more than one database. How do I go about doing that? It appears that the init.ora files are database - specific - do I simply specify the same instance name in two different init.ora files?

Anyone have any advice on what's a reasonable number of databases to allow to be managed by one instance?

Thanks,
