Two databases on a same OS user/account?????

I know it is possible to have two(or more) databases running on two different OS users/accounts in the same machine.
But can we have two(or more) databases running on the same OS user/account in one machine? Wouldn't there be a conflict at ORACLE_HOME???? Would it work even if i assign different port numbers(say 1521 and 1522) for each database.
Manu

There is no problem to have more than one database managed by same OS user.
There is no problem to have more than one database on same listener port.
There is no conflict to share the same ORACLE_HOME for more than one database (unless they are in different oracle version), after all, that's only the binaries, not the data.

  • Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?

    Using Windows 7, iphone 4.
    I've read as many threads on these forums and as many kb's as I could find, but I sttill can't figure it out. I have 2 iPhones. Let's call them, "wife" and "hubby". I want to have two separate iTunes, one for each of the phones. Hubby is the Windoows User. I don't want to set up a different Windows User for wife.
    Hubby was the original iPhone. When I plug it in, iTunes recognized it has Hubby's iPhone. Then I unplug Hubby and close iTunes. I plug in Wife but iTunes stll comes up with Hubby under Devices and syncs Hubby's iTunes to Wife's iphone.
    I've tried using the shift key when I open iTunes to set up two separate .itl files to no avail.
    Is there a way to have two different iTunes for two different iPhones on one Windows User account?
    Thanks!

    What happens if you rename the iPhone "Wife" when it shows up as "Hubby", then choose a different set of apps/playlists to sync with? iTunes is supposed to be able to manage multiple devices, each with their own selection of content. Perhaps you "restored" "Wife" with a backup from "Hubby" when you first set things up which is now causing confusion.
    To create a new library press and hold down the shift key as you click the icon to start iTunes and keep holding shift until asked to choose or create a library. You need to use the same technique to switch back.

  • Two databases in the same host.

    Hi Group,
    I have a doupt, It's possible that two databases with the same name, live in the same host, if they have different OracleHomes, and the SO users who were installed with are different? eg.
    SO user: oraqas
    OracleHome1 : /qas/u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
    BD: prdsia01
    SO user: oracle
    OracleHome2: /u01/app/oracle/product/9.2.0
    BD: prdsia01
    If not, what do you recommend?
    Thanks a lot

    It's possible that two databases with the same name, live in the same host,
    if they have different OracleHomes, and the SO users who were installed with are different? what is "SO users"?
    what is "BD: prdsia01"
    Yes, two Oracle databases with same ORACLE_SID can reside on same system as same time.
    The only restriction is that only one instance can be online at a time.

  • Two database with the same sid but different ORACLE_HOME on one host

    two database with the same sid but different
    ORACLE_HOME on one host,and if configure them with
    two differnt lisnter staticaclly,this abosultely work
    because in the lisnter.ora we must provice
    ORACLE_HOME variable,with this ORACLE_HOME the client
    can differentiate which database to connect,but if
    use dynamically register feature,how can the client
    tell which database to connect?

    Also note that this type of configurtion may not be supported.
    Just because a given configuration works in certain given conditions does not mean that it would be supported.
    If this setup is for a configuration that has any value, please also Contact Oracle Support to get their inputs on what you are trying to accomplish.

  • Can I run two ipods from the same itunes library/account?

    I have a 20gb photo colour ipod and have just bought a new 30gb video ipod. I need to know whether I can run them off the same library and itunes account or do I have to have separate user accounts?
      Windows XP   iTunes 7.0.1.8

    Yes, you can.
    You can either have multiple user accouts on your computer, or create separate playlists for your two iPods in iTunes.
    This should explain how to manage multiple iPods:

  • I need to MERGE a same named user account from one mac to another.

    I am  a neophyte in the Mac World, seeking to move al of my son's material from hid old MacBook to a MacBook Pro that has a fresh install of Snow Leopard. I set up his user account on the MacBook Pro during the installation process. The user account on the Book has an identical name. He has used the Pro for two weeks. The need is to MERGE the accounts' information, NOT: 1) Renaming the user account to be transferred (THAT MIGHT MAKE HIM SCHIZOPHRENIC); 2) Replacing the existing user account with the one you are transferring (THAT WOULD MAKE HIM LOOSE TWO WEEKS OF HIS LIFE); or 3) Do not transfer this user account (WHICH WOULD MAKE HIM LOOSE TWO YEARS OF HIS LIFE), as these are the only options available (all unacceptable) via Migration Assistant using a Time Machine backup. If it is material, I made a backup of the Book before and after upgrading it to Snow Leopard. I attempting to migrate from the post-update backup. I'm tempted to try Ethernet migration, but suspect I will be faced with this same dilemma. I have reviewed other posts on this subject, and hope there is a better solution than putting the old User Account into the public folder of the Pro and then moving data into the new User Account.
    Express Lane is closed down for the day, so this is my first experience in a discussion group. Anyone have any suggestions?

    As long as the two accounts share the same username the solution is fairly simple with minor exceptions. On the new machine connect the backup drive you used. With the immediate exception of email, calendars, and contacts you can just drag the desired files from the backup drive onto the new computer putting them in their appropriate folders on the new computer - this would be the various folders in the /Home/ folder.
    For email: Mac OS X Mail- How to import email
    For iCal and Address Book it would be easiest to stay with the most recent data and copy these folders:
    /Home/Library/Calendars/
    /Home/Library/Applications Support/AddressBook/
    Copy these folders to the equivalent locations on the new computer. Then you also need to copy:
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.addressbook.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.addressbook.abd.plist
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.ical.plist
    into the appropriate folder on the new computer.

  • One Listener : two Databases in the same system : is it possible ?

    Hi,
    I am trying to setup a single listener to listen to two Databases running in the same system. We are experimenting a Network Architecture & this is a part of our experiment to see what happens..( most of the documentation I have read point out that running two DBs on a sing le system isn't a good idea..).
    One of the Databases is an Oracle Application Server Infrastructure Metadata Respository ( OraInfra ). The other database has been configured for use with Oracle Content Database ( OraContentDB ) .
    The two databases are up & running successfully - however, the problem is with the listener. The two listener.ora files are as follows :-
    # listener.ora Network Configuration File: C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\OraContentDB\network\admin\listener.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
      (SID_LIST =
        (SID_DESC =
          (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
          (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\OraContentDB)
          (PROGRAM = extproc)
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC1))
          (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 152.69.191.100)(PORT = 1522))
      )and
    # listener.ora Network Configuration File: C:\OraInfra\network\admin\listener.ora
    # Generated by Oracle configuration tools.
    SID_LIST_LISTENER =
      (SID_LIST =
        (SID_DESC =
          (SID_NAME = PLSExtProc)
          (ORACLE_HOME = C:\OraInfra)
          (PROGRAM = extproc)
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
        (DESCRIPTION =
          (ADDRESS_LIST =
            (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 152.69.191.100)(PORT = 1521))
            (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = 152.69.191.100)(PORT = 1522))
          (ADDRESS_LIST =
            (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))
      )However, everytime I try to connect via SQLPLUS, I can only connect via the first Listener. If I try to connect via the second listener, I only get this error :-
    SQL> connect scott/tiger@localhost:1522/CONTENTDB
    ERROR:

    Hi,
    Thanks to everyone for your time ! Yes, I now have an understanding of the architecture & I am trying to set up my listener...
    Paul, I reconfigured my Listener.ora and started it :-

        (SID_DESC =
          (GLOBAL_DBNAME = ORAINFRA.idc.oracle.com)
          (ORACLE_HOME = C:\OraInfra)
          (SID_NAME = ORAINFRA)
        (SID_DESC =
          (GLOBAL_DBNAME = CONTENTDB.idc.oracle.com)
          (ORACLE_HOME = C:\oracle\product\10.2.0\OraContentDB)
          (SID_NAME = CONTENTDB)
    LISTENER =
      (DESCRIPTION_LIST =
        (DESCRIPTION =

          (ADDRESS_LIST =
            (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = IPC)(KEY = EXTPROC))

  • Can I restore the database (clone) to different Host/User account?

    Hi,
    We use RMAN catalog that backup our production database using "oracle" user (OS user is "oracle") account. We wanted to clone this database to different host and to different OS user (for example is "oradev") account. Both user has same group (oradba). Can I able to restore the control fies/data files to different user account (the account that wasn't backed up).
    Please update if you know of any documents/pdfs/links that explains this detail.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance,
    Ranga.

    Yes, the user account should be transparent assuming the backuppieces have the appropriate user/group permissions.

  • Two iPhones to the same computer different accounts?

    We got a new Windows 7 computer and need to know how to sync both our iPhones to this computer. I used to sync my iPhone to our old computer and my wife synced to her laptop. I have been trying everything I have read on how to do this on the net for the last few days and cannot get it to work. We each have our own iTunes accounts but will be sharing the same music. We don't want to share our address books and photos so I have read you need to create 2 user accounts. I have tried this and the main account has access to the music library but the alternate user doesn't show any music in the my music folder. Do I have to copy all the music into 2 different places in order to get the music on both users? I'm at my wits end and just can't figure this out. Any help would be appreciated.

    This is an Outlook problem, and a bit tricky to fix via long distance through a forum. So if you have a local Windows expert ask them to look at it. If you want to try yourself I'll see if I can help.
    Does your Outlook sync to an Exchange server, or do you just use it as an email client for POP3 or IMAP?
    Has your wife ever used Outlook with here own email account? It sounds like the answer is no, so how does she now access her email?
    What you need to do is log on as your wife, then create a new Outlook account using Outlook under her Windows ID. In Outlook go to Menu/Options/Email Accounts and choose to set up a new account.

  • MySQL Database Connection (two databases at the same time)

    I have never had to open more than one MySQL database from within the same website before, but I do now.  The website I have is designed where all the content comes from within the main database.  I am building an Inventory system that I want within it's own database, in the event I would ever need to move the application to another server or something, I don't want this data residing in the main database.
    Currently, I open the database connection from within a file called "common.php" that resides in a directory called "lib" that can be accessed from the root directory.  Below is the proposed code that would be placed within the "common.php" file:
    // Define Database Variables
    $dbserver = "127.0.0.1";
    $dbuser  = array('clevelan_user1', 'clevelan_user2');
    $dbpass  = array('P@ssw0rd', 'P@ssw0rd2');
    $dbname  = array('clevelan_database1', 'clevelan_database2');
    // Start Session
    session_start();
    // Connect to Databases
    connectdb($dbserver, $dbuser[0], $dbpass[0], $dbname[0]);
    connectdb2($dbserver, $dbuser[1], $dbpass[1], $dbname[1]);
    // Database 1 Connection
    function connectdb($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname) {
    // connects to db
      global $connection;
      $connection = @mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ("could not connect to server");
      $db = @mysql_select_db($dbname, $connection) or die ("could not select databsase");
      return $connection;
    // Database 2 Connection
    function connectdb2($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass, $dbname) {
    // connects to db
      global $connection2;
      $connection2 = @mysql_connect($dbserver, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ("could not connect to server");
      $db2 = @mysql_select_db($dbname, $connection2) or die ("could not select databsase");
      return $connection2;
    //End of Code Within the "common.php"
    From within any page of the website, I want to access both connections by placing an include at the top of each page:
    include_once("lib/common.php");
    Currently, when I run the code above, any page within the website (the home page) provides error messages with regards to database connectivity (the pages are looking for there content from within the second database.  It's as if the second database is the only database seen by the website.
    I need help figuring out how I can have two MySQL databases open at the same time (the second database will only be open for short periods of time and then closed).  But the main database is always open.

    Create one project using one copy of the exact tables.
    create 2 different sessions.xml files each pointing to the same project. Set the login information in the sessions.xml files.
    That should work fine.

  • Can I synch two iPhones to the same apple user ID?

    My husband &amp; I have shared our Apple ID but it hasn't been a concern until our purchase of two iPhone 4s phones yesterday. I have synched mine up with our account &amp; I use the username &amp; password when it's requested. Not sure what to do for my husband's phone. Help anyone. Thanks!

    Allan I have my iPod, MacBook and iPad synched with it. How will synching my husband's phone impact my music &amp; Apps? When I synch my phone do I just uncheck his apps so they don't go on my phone and he does the same? Also for instance on game center on my iPhone I had to enter our apple ID and password to get in. Can he enter that same name and password on his phone. Sorry if these questions seem done. I'm learning. :-)
