Hello Cesar!

We are still debugging this port.  If you want to help out, join in!=20
A SID (more properly, an $ORACLE_SID) is an Oracle System ID
every box has one and it tags which set of databases and tablespaces
go where.  It is a somewhat clumsy mechanism but it's what we
have to work with.

On my box I do this:

echo $ORACLE_SID

And I get back: oralin
which is what I set it to on installation (way back when.)

of Gandhi's experiments in truth.

Lemme know if I can be of assistance to you, eh?  ;-)
