What are the restriction in naming an Oracle SID/Database?

1. Can I have special character in SID/Database name? e.g. Is  a SID name 'emp_prod' 
is allowed?

2. What is the maximum size of a SID/Database name in Unix?

3. What is the maximum size of a SID/Database name in Windows?

4. Is there any other restrictions?



Thanks,
Ashoke
