Oracle Database Discussions

Hey guys,

i'm creating the 9i database via scripts and i'm thinking of the possibility to add the instance to the node in the future. that's why i'm putting in the init.ora file these lines:

###########################################
# Database Identification
###########################################
db_domain=""
db_name=don

###########################################
# Instance Identification
###########################################
instance_name=don1

but the installation fails because of:

ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01501: CREATE DATABASE failed
ORA-01504: database name 'DON1' does not match parameter db_name 'don'

please, suggest how i can assign different db_name and instance_name in 9i. should i use db_unique_name (somebody said that the param appears only in 10g).

THANK YOU ALL.
