Thanks.

Setting the ORACLE_SID in the PATH variable won't do you any good. ORACLE_SID is it's own environment variable. If you set ORACLE_SID as an environment variable it will take precedence over the registry value.

I don't think the variable ORACLE_SID will set audomatically! I installed oracle software alone, when i try to query

sqlplus "/as sysdba"

it is not going, unless i specify set ORACLE_SID=<any name>

By the way what is the use of oracleservice<sid>??

oradim -new -sid <oracle sid> -startmode -m
or
net start oracleservice<sid> /* if service is already created */

Thanks.

Hi,

sqlplus "/as sysdba"

it is not going,

Are you getting any error.

Make sure in sqlnet.ora >>>SQLNET.AUTHENTICATION_SERVICES= (NTS)<<< or os user member of ORA_DBA group.

I don't think the variable ORACLE_SID will set audomatically
if you have more than one database on some machine then you have to first set ORACLE_SID or use @tns_entry TO POINT which database you want to connect.
consider
i have to database on some machine >>>TAJ , ORCL<<<<
without tnsentry or oracle_sid parameters set i am connect new created database ( IS TAJ) but if i want to connect ORCL i have to set oracle_sid OR use @tnsentry with connect string.

You can also use SET INSTANCE instance_name COMMAND on sql prompt to SET INSTANCE_NAME.but first you have to disconn from current instance.

oracleservice<sid>??
ORADIM is utility to CREATE ORACLE SERVICES.
it is point to Oracle Service.
net start OracleSerivce<sid> for start services.
net stop OracleServices<sid> for stop services.

Taj

Adding to Taj's reply.. In WIndows operating system,for any process to run in background, there should be service created.That is what you do with ORADIM utility.
You can see even for listener ,there is a service created.
Go to run > type services.msc >hit enter

Thanks for some more information.

What exactly oracleservice doing? As you said is it mantadory to create ( if not available) and start the service for running background jobs?
In windows is it possible to see how many processes are running?

Thanks.
