Re: Can NT run multiple instances of Oracle7?

Sure it can!
You have to create another set of services via the ORADIM (a.k.a. Instance Manager) command.
When you use ORADIM you have to create a new initXXX.ora file choosing a new SID.
For example, to create a TEST instance with the char mode interface (in a DOS prompt window):
oradim73 -new -sid TEST -intpwd MYPWD -startmode auto -pfile initTEST.ora This will create the services, not the database, so you have to create it via standard SQL commands.
This is the best choice to fully customise your new DB. P.S.: remember to reconfigure the listener so as to service the new instance too.
