The DB_NAME parameter and the DB_DOMAIN name parameter combine to
create the global database name value that is assigned to the SERVICE_NAMES
parameter in the init.ora file.
The System Identifier (SID) identifies a specific Oracle9i database instance
SID uniquely distinguishes a database from any other database on the same
computer
active Oracle databases on a single computer
and database name.
The SID name comes from the value entered for the SID prefix in the Database
Identification window
For example, if the SID and database name for an Oracle database are ORCL, each
database file is in the ora_root:[oradata.orcl] directory and the initialization
parameter file is in the ora_root:[admin.orcl.pfile] directory
directory is named after the DB_NAME parameter value.
Tablespaces and Data Files
An Oracle9i database is divided into smaller logical areas of space known as
tablespaces
files contain the contents of logical database structures such as tables and indexes
You can associate each data file with only one tablespace and database.
