Re: How can I run multiply instances in Oracle at the same time?

There's no confusion at all, none.. did I say confusion?

But I was just reading Oracle error messages...

ORA-01090: shutdown in progress - connection is not permitted Cause: The SHUTDOWN command was used to shut down a running Oracle instance, disallowing
any connects to Oracle.
Action: Wait for the instance to restart or contact the database administrator.

Clearly they're speaking about shutting down the instance,

ORA-01097: cannot shutdown while in a transaction - commit or rollback Cause: An attempt was made to shut down the database while a transaction was in progress.
Action: Either commit or rollback the current transaction and then attempt to shut down the
database

Or are the talking about shutting down the database? But again, no confusion ;-)
