At least once a week I hear someone make a statement that demonstrates they do not fully appreciate the distinction between Instance and Database. Since there is considerable confusion about the definition of Instance, Database and Application, (Schema, Owner and User as well), I believe the qualification is acceptable, albeit [potentially] redundant. - Don't fret it <g>
