If I read your post correctly, that would have been the *second* database.
The first question you would need to ask yourself: Oracle not being Msaccess nor Sqlserver, why would I need to install a second database (ie a database + an instance)
Maybe your resources are at a premium, and your server is running out of it when creating a second instance. If you create a default database the resources consumed by Oracle are huge.
