You can

Lsnrctl


Will return a list of "running" databases on the server.

v$database will always show one and only one database - the database to
which the instance you are running the query against is attached.  As for
how to find out on Windows, I'll leave that to someone who knows Windows
better than I.

Hi Dmit,

When you connect to a database and look at v$database,  it will only 
show you
information about the current database.  

On win2k you should check the following:
1.  go to the services panel and make sure you have services created and
started for each database
2. from the dos prompt check the listener to make sure it is listening 
for each
of these databases
3.  assuming you are using tnsnames file check to make sure each of these
databases are in the tnsnames file
4. from the dos prompt see if you can connect to each of these databases
using the oracle_sid
set oracle_sid=oemrep
sqlplus user/password
select * from v$database;
exit

set oracle_sid=mydata
sqlplus user/password
select * from v$database;
exit

If  all of the above are ok, you should be able to connect
using the listener as well.

Good luck,
John
