We have SIDs 9 chars long! Ron SMith
-----Original Message----- Sent: Tuesday, July 30, 2002 3:08 PM To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Hi, What is the reason behind DB_Name/SID usually 4 chars length only. I have a customer who is asking us to create instance/db with 6 chars length. We usually keep instance name and db_name parameters same in .ora file. Can someone please explain the reason behind db_name 4 chars only. Is it a common practice to keep SID/db_name/instance name parameters same (for example PBDS). thanks Srinivas __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
