Re: NT - Installing Multiple Instances - 8.0.5

No, that's not Oracle's inability. There is really no problem at all in having multiple instances on one server. However, you won't succeed in running 5 instances with 40G data on 1 single NT server anyway, and that's NT's inability. Actually this is a typical RTFM question, sorry for using the phrase. Just use the database assistant or even oradim80 to create those multiple instances, it will work like a breeze, and yes there will be one Oracle_home, and yes you need to configure sqlnet, and you definitely don't need any multiple listeners or multiple ip-addresses or multiple ports. A manual edit of listener.ora, and tnsnames.ora just duplicating and changing the sid section should do.
