Creating the ORACLE_SID Parameter

If you do not yet have the parameter ORACLE_SID, because this is the first database on your system, then you must create it.

To create the parameter ORACLE_SID:

1. Select New from the Edit menu.
2. Select Expandable String Value from the menu list.
3. A New Value #1 expandable string value name is created on the right pane of the Registry Editor window of data type REG_EXPAND_SZ.
4. Right-click the parameter, select Rename to rename it to ORACLE_SID and press Enter.
5. Double-click the ORACLE_SID entry to change the value data to the new SID.

   An Edit String dialog box appears:
