I have created a new database on a new Instance (SID). I am running Oracle
8 on NT 4.0. When some of the utilties like sqlplus is run, how does it
know what SID to run? I was told that there is a system variable called
ORACLE_SID and if I want to run a ultility on another instance I set this
variable before running the utlitity. However, I cannot see any system
varaibale defined on my machine ORACLE_SID, what do I need to do? If there
is not ORACLE_SID defined what does oracle default to?
Thanks,
Haresh
