Hi,

if u want to start database A with the following option

connect / as sysdba

without specifying a service name then u hav to set an environment variable ORACLE_SID that will point to the name of ur database A rather than database B.

Simply u can do that

right click on my computer --> go properties --> Advanced tab --> U wil find Environment variables button ( click on it ) --> there u wil find two text boxes one for system variables and other for user variables --> Edit ur ORACLE_SID to the name of ur database A and save

now try to connect.

rgrds,
tarun

hi tarun,

I also hav the similar problem here. but I can't find the ORACLE_SID as u mention in the environment variable setting. Do i have to create a new one? if so, what is the path name?

Yea u can create a new one.

Simply u can do that

right click on my computer --> go properties --> Advanced tab --> U wil find Environment variables button ( click on it ) --> there u wil find two text boxes one for system variables and other for user variables --> add ur ORACLE_SID to the name of ur database A and save.

After that now database A has most priority.

so if u use

usname/psswd then u wil connect to database A.

and if u wil use

usrname/passwd@B then u wil connect to database B.


regards,
tarun
