Hello all...

I was trying to create a new DB using DBCA on Oralce9i. In one of the steps that we go thru using this GUI tool, it was asking Global DB name and SID name.

My question is ...

What is the Difference between Global DB name and SID ?...can i give 2 different names for these 2 fields, if so which one to use for tnsnames.ora file in client and server side ...


thanks to all

Ron
