The difference between the service name and sid

Hi all

1. I am not able to understand the difference between Service_name and SID.
2 and I have 3 different databases (such as 9i, 10 g, 11 g) with 3 cases in each (6 total), I can configure a listener for all databases and all cases, as I have found in some documents that we need to define the list of SIDS in listener.ora file.

Please help me in this regard

Thanks in advance

Menas SID number so, for each instance there is a unique SID in the server. Service_name is nothing more that an alias name for the name of the database in a system not CARS. But in a RAC system, there are some other additional features.

Yes, you can create a single listener to a 9i, 10g and 11g database, but make sure that when you start the listener you should start it superior version, here, in your case, you should start the listener binaries of 11g.

  • the service name and the name of the database are different.

    Hello

    I had created a database with name PROD, latter I renamed DB HAVE according to the request of management.

    But I notice the following things.

    1 OS ORACLE_SID variable level is always PROD. (.bash_profile also I have this entries)
    2. starting at sql prompt DB_NAME is HAVE.
    3 al ' service_name watch listener and instance name is PROD.

    can someone please explain me, why oracle behaves like that.
    Our applications work correctly with any questions so far.

    This last I changed the name of DB to HAVE

    Change the DB_NAME is not the ORACLE_SID. You must manually change the ORACLE_SID.

    Stop the database instance.
    Copy $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initPROD.ora to $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initPRODT.ora. (I assume that DB_NAME has already been upgraded IN the initPROD.ora)
    Change your ORACLE_SID of PROD WERE and disconnect and connect again.
    Make sure that your ORACLE_SID is now HAVE and that $ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initPRODT.ora
    Now start the database instance

  • What is the difference between the Service Station and Tempro?

    What is the difference between the Service Station and Tempro?

    I just run the wizard upgrade Toshiba and it installed the gas station but Tempro is already installed and seems to do the same.

    Concerning

    Bushy

    Hello

    These two tools are Toshiba one informs you of the new driver updates available on the Toshiba driver page.

    AFAIK Tempro is slightly older than the gas station.
    In addition the gas station seems to provide a bit more options and features like tool Tempro.
    However, I recommend using one my favorite utility's Service Station

  • What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and controlling the display of Simulator

    I want to create a simulation of 3D on the front panel, and I see that we can use a 3D image control or a display of Simulator control. It seems that each of them can be used at the same position. What is the most important difference between 3D Picture control and display of Simulator?

    Hi sfh1,

    You are right, I found examples of Robotics that use 3D photo control and display Simulator control to display a scene 3D on the front panel. After further research, it seems that control the display of Simulator adds additional features compared to the 3D picture control. The control displays Simulator allows the user to right-click control during execution and change the background color, draw fashion, draw contact, view the ID of robot, display sensor data, suspension of service Simulator and reset service Simulator.

    More in depth on these options and the display of control Simulator can be found here:

  • What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish

    I've been curious.

    What is the difference between HP Photo Creations and Snapfish?

    Hi Jeff17866. The difference between these two services are the location, accessibility and share-ability of the recorded images. Snapfish is a photo on the web edition and sharing and belonged to printing HP service. You upload your images on the Snapfish site and share with other sites (Facebook, Flickr, etc) by selecting the appropriate options. The images are then stored on the cloud, and you will be able to access it from any device with Internet access. So, if you want to easily share your photos with your friends and family around the country, Snapfish is a great tool to do. HP Photo Creations is a photo editing software that you download to your desktop. You can edit your photos and order prints just as with Snapfish, but all pictures remain on your hard drive. They can be shared by downloading files on the sites you want the images appear, but you are not able to access it on other devices. -Chauntain

    There is no difference in the product itself.

    Although if you get a generic OEM full version, it contains the
    even software, it has the following disadvantages compared to the
    commercial version:

    1. the biggest drawback of an OEM version (at least in the USA) is
    that its license it permanently binds to the first computer, it is
    installed on. He can never legally be moved to another computer, sold,
    or given (except with the original computer). If the computer
    dies or is stolen, your license dies with him.

    2. he can't do a clean install, not an upgrade.

    3 Microsoft offers no support for OEM versions. You cannot call their
    with a problem, but rather to secure the necessary support of your
    OEM; who take in charge may go anywhere between property and non-existent. Or
    You can get support elsewhere, like in these forums.
