Oracle9i Installation Guide Release 2 (9.2.0.2) for HP Alpha OpenVMS

Identifying Databases

The Oracle9i software identifies a database by its global database name

.

A global

database name consists of the database name and network domain

.

The global

database name uniquely distinguishes a database from any other database in the
same network domain

.

Enter a global database name when prompted in the

Database Identification

window during Oracle9i database installation.

Example of a Global Database Name:

sales.us.acme.com

In the preceding example,

sales

is the name of the database

.

The database name

portion is a string of no more than 8 characters that can contain alphanumeric and
additional characters

.

The database name is also assigned to the DB_NAME

parameter in the

init.ora

file.

Also in the preceding example,

us.acme.com

is the network domain in which

the database is located

.

Together, the database name and the network domain

make the global database name unique

.

The domain portion is a string of no more

than 128 characters that can contain alpha, numeric, period (.), and additional
characters

.

The domain name is also assigned to the DB_DOMAIN parameter in

the

init.ora

file.

Note:

Any database user can be granted limited SYS role database

privileges to use the Oracle Enterprise Manager Diagnostics Pack

.

Grant users access to these necessary SYS privileges by granting
them the OEM_MONITOR role

.

This role is created when the

database is installed. The role is defined in the following SQL
script:

ora_root:[rdbms.admin]catsnmp.sql

In addition to being granted the OEM_MONITOR role, users must
have sufficient default tablespace quota within the monitored
database in order for OEM to run and to evaluate some advanced
events

.

Failure to allocate sufficient tablespace to users that are

granted the OEM_MONITOR role will result in an insufficient
privilege message.

The passwords are necessary only when the user resets and unlocks
the passwords manually. They are not required when it is done
automatically.
