Hello, I am running Oracle 7.3 with 3 diffrent databases that I set up. However I cannot connect to them. I keep recieving ORA-12505: TNS listener could not resolve SID given to connect descriptor. Do I have to modify the listener file to reflect all 3 databases?. If so is there a sample script?. Do I need to do anything with the tnsmanes.ora file.

Thank You

HEllo,
Yes, listener should have the entries of all the databases..or else create separate listeners to separate databases and make sure that they are all running ...
also while connecting try connecting as
username/password@databasename

sai

You can do that manually. If you have this starter file:
SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:oracleora73)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = db1)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:oracleora73)
(SID_NAME = db1)
)
)

keep adding

(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = db2)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:oracleora73)
(SID_NAME = db2)
)

for the second db.

(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = db3)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:oracleora73)
(SID_NAME = db3)
)

for the third db, until you get:

SID_LIST_LISTENER =
(SID_LIST =
(SID_DESC =
(SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:oracleora73)
(PROGRAM = extproc)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = db1)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:oracleora73)
(SID_NAME = db1)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = db2)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:oracleora73)
(SID_NAME = db2)
)
(SID_DESC =
(GLOBAL_DBNAME = db3)
(ORACLE_HOME = c:oracleora73)
(SID_NAME = db3)
)
)

For each new database you want the listener to listen, add it in listener.ora. That's for listening.

For connecting - you have to edit tnsnames, but on your clients to include TNS aliases for these three databases.

Hope that helps,
