Folks,

I have created a new Instance called if00,changed the ORACLE_SID
to if00.
So if you say echo $ORACLE_SID,this shows if00

But on starting the base,the default instance DEV starts up.

What changes do I need to further make to start the new instance
(if00) to be started.?

I have also changed the init.ora file,but no effect.

please can some one guide me.

Platform: Solaris
d.BASE : ORACLE 8.1.7
