- I am about to create a database instance on a VMS system and don't want to use
- the conventional filenames for files such as the system tablespace file
- (ORA_SYSTEM.DMS), or the redo log files. This is because we have multiple
- database instances and want to precede the names of their files with unique
- identifiers so that they can ne recognised easily. For example I'd like to
- name the file that contains the system tablespace of the production database
- P_SYSTEM.DBS, and the redo log files P_RLOG_1.RDO and P_RLOG_2.RDO. I know
- this will work because I tried it, but will this deviation from the
- conventional naming scheme cause us any problems down the line?
-
- Thanks in advance for your help.
