Ramon,
In the init.ora for the database:
service_names = servicename1, servicename2, ...
In the tnsnames.ora;
servicename1=
(DESCRIPTION_LIST=
(DESCRIPTION=
(ADDRESS_LIST=
(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)
(HOST=dbserver.yourdomain.com)
(PORT=1521)
)
)
(CONNECT_DATA= (SERVICE_NAME=servicename1)))

Subject: Question about database and service name
Hi list,
Reading the OU manuals Oracle 9i DBA Fundamentals II , in chapter 2 page
12, found
1-) An oracle database is represented to clients as a service.
2-) A database can have one or more services associated with it.
3-) A database can be presented as multiple services and a service can be
implemented as multiple database
instances.
For the No. 2 :
I interpret that I can have 2 or 3 or 4 services for just ONE DB. Is
that correct ?. How can I do that ?
For the No. 3:
I interpret that I can refer to the same DB with differents names.
As far as I understand, the DB instance name is unique, it can't be
changed. So how can I create several services names for one DB.
Or is just a trick in the TNSNAMES.ORA and LISTENER.ORA files.
Please can anyone give some light in that, I am totally confused !!!
