This relates back to the dos days (break out that chisel). 8.3 filename format
requires a sid less
than 5 characters, eg, initXXXX.ora

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
