Before you get into svrmgrl, check your %ORACLE_SID% environmental variable. Whichever SID it's set to, that's the database you are going to startup/shutdown. You can do set ORACLE_SID=NEW_SID to change it. Having two or more instances associated with a database is called Oracle Parallel Server

Madhu - That is what makes a DBA's job so interesting. The only pattern is that there is no pattern. But if it was simple, I doubt if we would be making much over minimum wage. A case study by Ferenc for Seibel would not help me, and I'm sure Ferenc would find my experience with Lawson to be a big

Anand - This was the common wisdom several years ago. I used to rebuild tables based on rules of thumb like this. Recently, several leading experts have challenged this assumption, and now it is generally accepted that trying to keep the number of extents below 5 wastes a lot of work for nothing.
