    Two instances for a single database targeting Oracle 10g on windows platform

    Hi all,

    Database: Oracle 10g (Server)
    Operating system: Windows XP SP2

    Now, i want to create two instances for a single database, is that possible?

    With RAC yes, of course that is possible....but normally working on:

    Steps i followed:

    1. Created one more instance with ORADIM utility.
    2. The same is displayed appropriately in services.msc
    3. Copy/pasted the init.ora file and updated the new copy/pasted db_name to 'ORCL2' where in by default the original init.ora file had db_name as 'ORCL'


    Instance ORCL2 is not recongized.....

    Please help,

    Regards,
    - Sri

    So you think Oracle invested tons of money and time developing RAC just because they had nothing better to do?

    And do you think all these people who are buying RAC do not have any clue?
    One, who thinks that the other one who thinks that know and does not know, does not know either!
