Home -> Community -> Usenet -> c.d.o.server -> Re: Multiple Instance on 1 Server?
I don't know about Novell, but in UNIX its common to have multiple
instances on a single server. In the UNIX environment the environment
variable ORACLE_SID or TWO_TASK determines the instance when connecting
to oracle. There also has to be an init.ora file for each instance with
db_name set appropriately. You only use OPS when you have multiple
instances sharing the same database.
