However, qualifying the instance type is becoming more common, and also more necesssary.

After all, we now have instances of processes and memory allocation for at least the following:

• database
• ASM
• application server
• OiD Server instance http://download-west.oracle.com/docs/cd/B10464_05/manage.904/b12118/concept8.htm#1036007

And the first two are even differentiated using the initialization parameter 'INSTANCE_TYPE', as shown at
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14237/initparams085.htm#sthref355

In various scenarios, we even refer to the

• Oracle Forms Server instance
• Oracle Reports Server instance

So these days I actively encourage people to use a type qualifier to avoid ambiguity and potential confusion. <g>
