Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: How can I query the SID name from the database
Thanks for all who replied.
Probably I will have to solve this some other way, since the customer has several instances on the same box, but the instance name has no correlation to the SID name: they don't accept the default.

U can get the instance name from V$instance and v$database. If u have set the instance name and sid as same in init.ora, then instance name is the SID. BTW SID=system identifier for the OS to identify the Oracle to allocate resource. U can have multiple instance running in same OS.
