Hi:

I will be having several database in several servers. One instance(DB) per machine.

I am wondering, is there any benefit of having different DB_NAME for each of these databases? Does having different DB name will make any differenece? Is it mandatory for any implementation, such as MTS, distributed DB etc.?

Please explain me, the benefits of having different DB_NAME for every instance. I am not using GLOBAL DB NAME now.

note: Currently I have a few Instance with the same DB name on different servers. I am trying to determine whether I will keep the same throuhout the organization or change atleat the new ones?
