how to run multiple instances in oracle?
using set oracle_sid=sid .. & when i say sqlplus / as sysdba... its asking password.. even i give sys and password it's not accepting...
is it anything to do with os privilege? if so how to deal with it.. how to run two instances at a time?

hmmm quite old thread, not sure if u still need answer, still.....

C:> set oracle_sid=<oracle_instance>
C:> sqlplus "/as sysdba"

that will do. firstu have to create those instances / i.e. databases though.
