Difference between service name and sid

840710Jun 15 2011 — edited Jun 15 2011
Hi All,

1. I am not able to understand the difference between Service_name and SID.
2. And I have 3 different databases(like 9i,10g,11g) with 3 instances in each(total 6), Can I configure one listener for all the databases and instances, as I have found in some documents that we need to set SID's list in listener.ora file.

Please help me in this regard,

Thanks in advance
