Can no longer customize the SID with 23c FREE (could be customized with XE)

Simon_DBAApr 4 2023

Curious as to why we can no longer customize the SID if creating the database via the DBCA?

With Oracle XE 18c and XE 21c we could choose any SID through the DBCA. With 23c Free, the same command now gives the error:

[FATAL] [DBT-10334] Oracle SID name for Oracle Database Free is invalid.
   ACTION: SID name for Oracle Database Free should be FREE.

Curious as to why this change: customizing the SID with XE was useful (handy) for managing multiple environments as the SID could reflect the database's purpose?

Thanks.
