Hi Oraclers!

Does anyone know how it is possible to start more than one instance on a machine. Each instance has a database. If I want to start more instances all tried to use the same sgadefSID.dbf (Do I have to install Oracle multiple times?).

Or is it possible to maintain several databases with one instance?

Sure, it is possible.
Our development staff works on a single machine with at least three instances running. What you have to do is to correctly set ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID before creating your new database. Each instance has its own SID, init<SID>.ora file, and all works fine. Received on Fri Aug 04 1995 - 00:00:00 CEST
