Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: Ok two databases..two machines..one database name
When we do this (alongwith giving different passwords), we differentiate in tnsnames by using the server_sid type idea
eg,
SERVER1_TEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = SERVER1)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = TEST)
)
)
SERVER2_TEST =
(DESCRIPTION =
(ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = SERVER2)(PORT = 1521))
(CONNECT_DATA =
(SID = TEST)
)
)
Therefore when we need to connect it would use the differing connect strings.
Regards
Lee

Paul, why are you sorry? You CAN have two databases with the same database name on different machines. Differing passwords is a good idea, I should have thought of it.
I would NOT however, name the tnsnames.ora entries the same name on the two machines, that's another way to help prevent problems.
