What's your ORACLE_SID set to? Did you add your new database to your
listener? You didn't say how you created the second database.

Please
respond to
ORACLE-L
I'm a student dba'r running 9i on windows xp. I have created a second
database (database name=bill, instance name = bill). After I first created
it, I tried to mount it after shutting down the installation seed database
(database name = orcl, instance name = orcl). I kept getting the message
'cannot mount database in exclusive mode'. After several attempts to get
out of exclusive mode, I gave up. The next night, without making any
changes, I tried again and this time I was sucessful in mounting the bill
database. I created a data tablespace (data) and four tables which I
populated. Then I queried the database name from v$database and got the
response 'bill'. Next I queried the instance name from v$instance and got
'orcl' when I should have gotten 'bill'. I double checked the database
name and again got 'bill'.&nbs! ! p; How can this be? But the real problem
is that when I tried to mount the database bill again tonight, I again got
the message ''cannot mount database in exclusive mode'. I can't find an
explanation for this in the book. I tried to startup nomount using the
'bill' pfile which showed an idel instance started. Then I tried to issue
the alter database mount parallel command but it comes back with the
'cannot mount database in exclusive mode'. When I then query the
instance_name from v$instance I get orcl instead of bill. Can any one help
me out?
Thanks!
