Re: Multiple Instance = Multiple Homes (Oracle 9.2) Confused...

Ok,

I tried it.. but something confusing happens....

In OUI when you choose the same Home, it never asks you for a new SID for the new database, instead the installation options in the end show up as "Reinstallation", now if you choose a new home for creating the 2nd instance, then the screen comes up which asks about the SID etc...

Thanks
