But I think that you're right. I think that he means SID. They can have a different ORACLE_HOME in the listner.ora file and a different connect siring in the TNSNAMES.ORA file (along with a different ORACLE_HOME). I'm not sure if that would be enough to differentiate them though. If you're in a UNIX environment there's still the question of ORACLE_SID.

Even if oracle home, version are different, their SID name should be different. I tested. I'm able to create two databases on one oracle server with different SID, but at a time i can startup only one database.
