Hi, All

I have a basic question regarding Global Names & SID.

I am about to install Oracle 8.1.7 EE on WIN2K that is on a LAN (two machines), and that will only be accessed through the local machine (ie the machine that it is installed on).

In the forums I see alot of questions regarding problems with Global Names and SID, and in posting this question, I am hoping to avoid these problems (ORA:12560, ORA:12154).

Specifically, when installing Oracle, given the operating system environment information provided above, what Global Name & SID should I use when prompted during installation? And, if applicable (to this environment), what is the significance of the difference between dbname.domain.com, dbname.domain, and dbname.world.

Any insight is much appreciated.
