The number of ORACLE.EXE processes in Task Manager indicate the number of Oracle Services started. Those Oracle instances might not yet be started, however. You'd have to check that via connecting with SQL*Plus. You can start up and shut down and Oracle instances and the ORACLE.EXE processes will remain in Task Manager - though "Mem Usage" may vary drastically, depending on the SGA settings - until you stop the Services.

I'm not familiar with Oracle Parallel Server, so I can't for sure say that multiple Oracle instances on the same NT server could mount the same database. If that can't happen, then each Oracle process would indeed correspond to an Oracle database.

Hi Again DBA's

We are running Oracle 8.0.5 on NT 4.
I read that Oracle is implemented as one multi-threaded process on NT. I observe two ORACLE80.EXE proceses running in the Task Manager. There are also two STRTDB80.EXE processes running as well. Does the number of ORACLE.EXE processes represent the number of databases that are open?

Thanks in advance for your input!
